Nations FC had the equalizer moments later through an own goal when Rubin Hennessy headed an in swinging cross into his own net with 35 minute played with the score line staying 1-1 into the half time break.

Prince Badu stunned the visitors with a long ranger in the 85th minute to win the day for Nations FC at 2-1.
