The defeat on Sunday thus leaves Gent, who were without Anderson Esiti and Moses Simon, four points outside the UEFA Champions League playoff zone.
Troost- Ekong aside, two other Nigerians were involved in Sunday’s game for both teams.
Joseph Akpala was introduced from the bench on 90+2 minutes for Oostende, while Samuel Kalu started for Gent.
He was booked on the 41st minute and was substituted a minute into the second half.
