Amro Marei opened scores in the second minute, while Amine Chermiti added two goals in the third and eighth minutes for the first half to end 3-0 in the hosts favour.
The 14th minute substitution of goalkeeper Odah Okiemute for Dele Ajiboye seemed to stabilize the visitors rear until the hosts scored the fourth goal in the 54th minute.
Plateau United, fought back to reduce the tally, first with Raphael Ayagwas penalty kick in the 70th minute.
Eight minutes to the end of the game, Tosin Omoyele turned home substitute Patrick Enejis assist to further reduce the margin ahead of the second leg game.
