The Dream Team which included star players like Liverpool's Taiwo Awoniyi and Ajayi Junior of CS Sfaxien were forced to a barren first half by the Baby Scorpions despite dominating possession.
The visitors broke the deadlock in the 53rd minute through captain Oghenekaro Etebo from the spot after Godspower Aniefiok was felled by the Gambian goalie.
Both sides pressed in search for a winner but poor finishing and resolute defending kept the score even.
The Dream Team are housed in Group B with Algeria, Egypt and Mali.
