Their relentless persistence paid off late in the match when Bashir Abdulkarim capitalized on a defensive opening to slot home the equalizer.
The drama triggered wild celebrations among the home fans as Inter Lagos snatched a hard-earned point from the jaws of defeat.
While Inter Lagos can draw confidence from their resilience, Kano Pillars will be frustrated by their failure to manage the game and secure the victory.
