Chukwueze finished second in the vote and his international teammate Olayinka was in third place.
Thirty-two minutes into his Europa Conference League debut, Chukwueze latched onto a ball from Mojica and smashed a left-footed volley into the corner of the net.
The 2015 U17 World Cup winner has now scored in the group stage of all the European club competitions for Villarreal including the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
Olayinka became Slavia Prague's joint-top scorer in European competitions with 12 goals when he opened the scoring in a 1-1 draw with Ahmed Musa's Sivasspor.
