A rare moment of defensive lapse from Calvin Bassey allowed Jodel Dossou to pounce. The Sochaux winger took full advantage of the mistake and slotted past the onrushing Stanley Nwabali.
That was not all. A few minutes before the break, Raphael Onyedika and Wilfred Ndidi were guilty of ball-watching and failing to clear the lines from a corner.
The ball fell kindly for Steve Mounie, who made no mistakes from close range.
