Host nation Ivory Coast staged a dramatic comeback in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final against Mali securing a 3-2 victory in extra time. Despite playing with 10 men for most of the match after Odilon Kossounou’s first-half dismissal, Ivory Coast equalized with Simon Adingra’s late goal in regular time.
Oumar Diakite’s 122nd-minute winner secured the victory but he received a second yellow card for removing his shirt in celebration making him unavailable for the semi-final against DR Congo. The match ended in controversy with Mali players protesting the decisive goal leading to a red card for Hamari Traore.
Ivory Coast’s remarkable journey in the tournament continues overcoming challenging situations to reach the semi-finals. Mali on the other hand faced disappointment with their quarter-final jinx against Ivory Coast persisting.
