Africa Cup: Sierra Leone celebrates 2: 2 against Ivory Coast

With the former Frankfurt Sebastien Haller, which was flanked in the attack by the Premier League Professional Zara (Crystal Palace) and Pepe (Arsenal), the Ivory Coast went the second group match against Sierra Leone — and was superior from the start. After Zara had been handled in the penalty area, Jessie's penalty point was the chance to lead. The Milan Profit failed, however, at goalkeeper Samara, who knew the right corner (12.). A little later it was Jessie, who twisted after passing Haller.

The Ivory remained clearly game-determining and finally went through Haller. After a strong pass from Zara to the alley, the AJAX striker stayed in front of the gate of ice-cold (25th). From Sierra Leone was little to see in the offensive, from which nothing managed to the outsider but almost the compensation. BUY TRAY dived completely in front of goalkeeper Hangar, which defuses the powerless degree with the inside but by footprint (39.).

After the break, the outsider dared slightly more — and pleased! Must Samara turned strongly at the sixteenth, Billy slide into the empty and chased the ball from left position to the top left corner (55.). The Ivory Coast needed ten minutes for an answer: Pepe aired the ball from 18 meters with left to see for renewed leadership to the left corner (65th).

Unveiled compensation in the detention time — Airier has to go to the goal

The Ivory Coast had close the premature eighth-finished qualification, but in the injection time then made a very thick Patter: the shortly previously substituted Kossounou headed a little inaccurately to goalkeeper Hangar, who wanted to prevent a corner and still rescue the ball before the goalie. But he remained in the lawn and then fell so unhappy to the actually secure ball that this jumped out again. Caulker laid at Alkali Samara, who depressed to the 2: 2 and made the outsider for exuberant cheering.

Final Hangar injured himself in the action to all overflow and had to be worn from the square after a long treatment break. Since the Ivory Coast had changed five times, defender Airier had to go to the goal. However, he had no longer survived a frenzy situation.

The Ivory Coast is therefore not certainly qualified for the secondary finals before the final duel with defending champion Algeria on Thursday (5 pm), on which the outsider Sierra Leone continues to have all the chances due to the surprising spot gain.
