by It seems that anything can happen in this Africa Cup and it is no wonder. When there appears to be a clear winner is when the unthinkable happens. Let them tell Mali. Ivory Coast managed to turn the result around when Mali was practically celebrating its passage to the next round. A goal in the 90th minute and another in the 122nd minute was enough to tip the balance for the Ivorians.
As if that were not enough, the game had many interruptions that led to Multiple yellow cards and three expulsions.. Ivory Coast started at some point in Mali, with a more purposeful football. An example of this is the penalty that Adama Traoré had, but that he would not be able to convert after a great intervention by Yahia Fofana.
However, Ivory Coast continued to tempt bad luck and Nene Dorgeles scored the first goal of the game with a shot from the edge of the area that, this time, it would pierce Fofana’s squad. It was from then on that the visiting team got its act together to try to turn around a match that practically seemed impossible.

But that’s what Adingra was for. The Brighton player, evoking the epic, pulled with conviction, He took advantage of a ball without an owner inside the area and forced extra time when it seemed that there was no more time for nothing else. The Ivorians persisted to the last consequences and found what they wanted so much.
heart attack ending
A lateral foul would give a new opportunity for the visitors to try the shot. In a sea of legs, the Malian goalkeeper could not stop the shot that would end up deflecting Diakite to score the final goal.. The panorama was tremendous. Some maddened by victory and others sunk by a last-gasp defeat.
The match would end with Diakite’s expulsion for taking off his shirt to celebrate the goal, since he was warned with another yellow. Despite everything, Mali forced a corner kick that the referee would not allow. Traoré couldn’t believe it and reprimanded the referee until he was sent off.
