Awaziem, on the other hand, will no longer feature in European football this season after Hajduk had conceded four goals in their first leg clash.

The Spanish outfit defeated Hajduk 4-2 in the first leg and was the clear favourite to go through, with Alfonso Pedraza opening the scoring in the first half of the second leg.

Chukwueze then doubled the lead in the 54th minute to give Villarreal a 2-0 lead on the night and 6-2 on aggregate.

The La Liga side held on for the win, which sees them into the group stage of Europe's third-tier club competition.
