Goalkeeping gaffe allows Sierra Leone to snatch draw with Ivory Coast


It was a remarkable moment and one that prevented the Ivory Coast from wrapping up qualification for the last 16 there and then. Before the late drama the 2015 champions appeared to have a second win in as many games in Group E sewn up thanks to Nicolas Pepe's second-half strike, but this result leaves them on four points and Sierra Leone on two. Zaha was coming up against Sierra Leone centre-back Caulker –- the duo played in the same England team in a friendly in Sweden in 2012 before later declaring for their current national teams. However, goalkeeper Mohamed Kamara had been the star player against Algeria and he produced a fine stop to deny Kessie. The lively Mohamed Buya Turay came close to equalising late in the first half for the Leone Stars but they did draw level in the 55th minute.
