Bechem came back energized after the break, quickly equalizing through forward Emmanuel Abban, who scored his second goal of the season. In the 57th minute, Nsoatreman’s hopes took a hit when defender Emmanuel Ankrah mistakenly deflected the ball into his own net, allowing Bechem to take a 2-1 lead.
