Oostende’s 4-2 defeat in the first leg put them on the back foot as they needed to score two clear goals to secure a spot in the next round, but they failed to score.
Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Knowledge Musona was impressive in the match but could not find the back of the net for his team. The Zimbabwean striker scored the second goal in their 4-2 defeat in the first leg.
Jali was in the starting eleven in midfield as he tries to win back his place in the squad following issues with weight and falling out with the club’s technical team last season.
