Khalifa Jabbie, Balikesirspor midfielder, played an impressive quality low shot into the far corner of the net.<\/p>\n

Skipper Umaru Bangura doubled Leone Stars lead from the spot after Syrianska defender was brought down and the Ivorian referee Bienvenu Sinko wasted no time to point to the spot.<\/p>\n
