Nine minutes later, though, the Cheetahs were back on equal footing when Jodel Dossou raced through and flicked past an advancing Stanley Nwabali goalkeeper, taking advantage of a defensive blunder by Semi Ajayi and Calvin Bassey.

Nwabali was once again exposed by the Nigerian defense, who ball-watched a corner kick touch go in, putting the Cheetahs ahead.
