Parity remained for the opening spell of the second half until Laurent Robert hit a great drive in the 63rd minute less than two minutes after he had hit the cross bar with a cross shot.

Christian headed in from an 80th minute corner and El Karkouri struck in a 20 metre free kick in the last minute to add gloss to the scoreline.
