The Liverpool loanee’s seventh league goal of the season helped restore the hope of his side after they had gone four-goal down after 61 minutes.
Ryota Morioka opened the scoring for the hosts in the 26th minute before Lukasz Teodorczyk hit the visitors with a hat-trick to take the scoreline to 4-0.
However, Awoniyi’s effort in the 70th minute was followed by strikes from Benjamin van Durmen and Teddy Mezague to reduce the deficit to one but Morioka’s late effort put the game beyond Frank Defays’ men.
