Sorry - this page has been removed. Ivory Coast’s Max Gradel denies Mali as sides continue drawing pattern
(4 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. Max Gradel struck with three minutes left as Ivory Coast snatched a dramatic 1-1 draw against neighbours Mali who led for 80 minutes in a bad-tempered Africa Cup of Nations match on Saturday.
Gradel slotted home from 12 metres after Serge Aurier’s pass was deflected into his path by a defender as the Elephants finally broke Mali’s stubborn resistance after dominating the game.
For further information, please contact: Bakary Sako scored with a brilliant volley after seven minutes for Mali to leave the Ivorians chasing the game.
It was the second straight 1-1 draw for both sides in Group D, leaving them with two points apiece. Cameroon and Guinea, with one point each, were meeting later on Saturday.
