Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar were all in action but it was midfielder Ander Herrera who would break the deadlock after netting 15 minutes into the game.
Twelve minutes later, Club Brugge leveled after Hans Vanaken connected to an Edourd Sobol pass.
The game was fiercely contested, with the Ghanaian winger heavily involved in several duels.
Sowah was a menace on the right side of attacking with his explosive runs for the Blue and Blacks.
Club Brugge manager, Philippe Clement, was proud of his boys and particularly impressed with Kamal Sowah.
"I am very proud of my players, they have played a very strong match physically and mentally. We start well, but then swallow a goal in the fifteen minutes. What makes me especially satisfied is the reaction of my players," he said after the game.
"Lang, De Ketelaere, Vanaken, Sowah, ... I actually have to go through the entire list of players. You can only achieve such a performance if everyone is top notch, that was the case," he added.
YEN.com.gh spoke to European football analyst, Kosi Fiaka, on the performance of Ghanaian players in the EUFA Champions League.
"It's unfortunate we don't have many players in the competition like we used to during the days of Essien and the Appiah's," he said.
"But looking at what Sowah showed today and Malik Abubakar at Malmo, I can say we can only expect more.
"Don't forget Edmund Addo is doing well with Sherriff Tiraspol," he added. "I believe Sowah can go far with Club Brugge from what I have seen."
