Joe Aribo scored the only goal for the three time African champions after dribbling past two opposition defenders before sending Manchester City keeper Ederson the wrong way.

FC Nantes winger Moses Simon assisted Aribo's goal with a precise pass from the left flank as the west African team took the lead ten minutes before half time.

Although, Real Madrid star Casemiro equalised for the south American side just three minutes into the second half in what looked like a scrambled goal.
