Dolphins 2-1 Coton Sport: The Port Harcourt side walk a tight rope after they manage a slim win in the CAF Champions League
After agitating for their allowances, players of the Port Harcourt team struggled to defeat their Cameroonian counterparts making their return encounter in Garoua a dicey affair
Ifeanyi Egwim opened scoring for Doplhins in the second minute, when he connected a pullout from the right wing.
Coton Sports equalized through midfielder BOUKAMA, who nodded into the net off a corner kick in the 20th minute.
The visitors continued tormenting their hosts until the end of the first half.
The Port Harcourt boys were charged up in the second half and tried to string passes together.
Egwim, the main striker for Dolphins who shone like a million stars, was goal-bound when he was brought down for a penalty in the 73rd minute.
The striker got up and dusted himself to take the penalty. But Coton Sport goalkeeper Loïc FEUDJOU was marvellous as he perfectly saved the spot kick.
Dolphins then became agitated and that motivated their opponents. But Ghanaian Owusu Addae would have none of that as he made sure Dolphins will go into the second leg with an advantage as he poked in a goal mouth scramble seven minutes to the end of the match.
The second leg is in a fortnight in Cameroon.
