He added three more interceptions, seven tackles and four clearances. Moreover, the Harambee Star deserves praise for his perfect long balls, as he launched as many as ten accurate distant passes.Gent lose to PAOK as Okumu stays in the locker room after the breakOn the other hand, he could have reacted maybe a bit better amid PAOK’s first goal. The entire Gent’s defence failed to get a hold of a ball, as Crespo placed it bellow the bar from a close range.Okumu was present even in the opposite box, but one of his headers ended in a bloody skirmish as he accidentally collided with Vierinha, who suffered a substantial head injury.Vieirinha after the close encounter with Okumu (©AFP)The mentioned Vierinha somehow recovered and, eventually, assisted Augusto for the winner and Okumu and Gent’s ECL exit.UEFA EUROPA CONFERENCE LEAGUELast 16, second legThursdayCopenhagen – PSV 0-4 (0-2)/Zahavi 10, 79, Gotze 38, Madueke 90+1/PSV PROCEED ON AGG 8-4AZ Alkmaar – Bodo 2-1 (2-1) 2-2 AET/Pavlidis 18, 30 – Pellegrino 26, Sampsted 105+1/BODO PROCEED ON AGG 4-3Rennes – Leicester 2-1 (1-0)/Bourigeaud 8, Tait 76 – Fofana 51/LEICESTER PROCEED ON AGG 3-2Basel – Olympique Marseille 1-2 (0-0)/Ndoye 63 – Under 74, Rongier 90+3/MARSEILLE PROCEED ON AGG 4-2Feyenord – Partizan 3-1 (1-0)/Dessers 45, Nelson 59, Linssen 90 – Gomes 61/FEYENORD PROCEED ON AGG 8-3Gent – PAOK 1-2 (1-1)/Depoitre 40 – Crespo 20, Augusto 77/PAOK PROCEED ON AGG 3-1Roma – Vitesse 1-1 (0-0)/Abraham 90 – Wittek 62/ROMA PROCEED ON AGG 2-1LASK – Slavia Praha 4-3 (1-2)/Wiesinger 36, 76, Gruber 88, Schmidt 89 – Olayinka 24, Bah 37, Sor 62/SLAVIA PRAHA PROCEED ON AGG 7-5
