Ouma, who was in a familiar competition he featured for in Sweden with IF Elfsborg last season, got a 6.7 ranking from Flashscore, despite being booked for unsportsmanlike conduct in the 88th minute.
The Kenyan will be back in action on Sunday, 5 October when Poznan take on GKS Katowice in the Ekstraklasa.
Kibunguchy features in Southeast Asia
Elsewhere in Singapore, Kenyan defender Nabilai Kibunguchy was in action as his new side - Hougang United - secured a 2-0 victory over Young Lions to get off the mark this season.
Kibunguchy, 27, came off the bench in the 65th minute for the injured Ryaan Sanizal, and ended up playing 26 minutes of the win.
The cameo was only his second appearance for United, having only signed for them on 15 September.
The center back, whose only appearance for Harambee Stars came in a 5-0 thrashing of Seychelles in November 2023, previously featured for American side Orlando City B, which he left earlier this year.
