We were the better side after the restart and found ourselves level in the 52nd minute when Muriqi headed home Maffeo’s cross.
We had successfully turned the game on its head five minutes later when Moralanes reacted first to a loose ball from a set-piece and hit the target from outside the box.
Substitute Selim Amallah had an instant impact with one of his first touches in the 67th minute when he levelled the scoreline.
The hosts thought they had found a late winner in the 86th minute when Monchu headed home Kenedy’s cross.
