The Flying Eagles fought hard to get back into the game but were let down by their lack of creativity in the final third.
Ladan Bosso’s side were awarded a penalty six minutes from time after substitute Ahmed Abdullahi was fouled inside the box.
The KAA Gent forward however hit the woodwork to the agony of his teammates.
