City were trailing 1-0 during the half-time break and they came back rejuvenated following their half-time team talk with coach Jan Olde Riekerink.
The Dutch tactician had made a triple substitution - introducing Justin Shonga, Keanu Cupido and Abdul Ajagun prior to the start of the second-half.
It was Ajagun who made an impact on the game in the 66th minute as the former Nigeria youth international scored on his debut for City to make it 1-1.
Ultimately, the match ended in a 1-1 draw in regulation time and the Chilli Boys went on to win the match in extra-time.
