AFRICA CUP 2024
Quarter-Finals

DAY 18
Match 47

Mali vs Côte d'Ivoire 1:2

 

FACTS
Host nation Ivory Coast produced another amazing Africa Cup of Nations escape act as Oumar Diakite's 122nd-minute winner sent the 10-man Elephants into the semi-finals at heartbroken Mali's expense.

The hosts played the majority of the game at a numerical disadvantage after Odilon Kossounou's dismissal for two first-half fouls on Lassine Sinayoko and they fell behind to Nene Dorgeles' classy curler.

But the Elephants equalised right on 90 minutes through Simon Adingra's opportunistic finish - and won it with virtually the last kick of extra time when Diakite diverted home Seko Fofana's shot.

Diakite left the field with mixed emotions, however, as a second yellow card received for removing his shirt in celebration means he will be banned for Wednesday's semi-final against DR Congo.
