"Ghislain Konan's own goal saw Cameroon come back to draw 1-1 with Africa Cup of Nations holders Ivory Coast in Group F. Cameroon had a great chance to win it late on, and all but confirm their place in the knockout stage, but Bryan Mbeumo saw his shot blocked brilliantly by Odilon Kossounou at the end of a rapid counter-attack."
"Amad's superb opener came just after Franck Kessie saw a goal disallowed, with that incident coming off the back of Danny Namaso squandering a golden chance at the other end. Namaso also hit the crossbar with a deflected attempt before Ivory Coast raced up the other end and Amad curled into the left-hand corner from the edge of the box."
Cameroon and Ivory Coast played out a 1-1 draw in Group F after Ghislain Konan's own goal looped in from a Junior Tchamadeu cross. Amad Diallo opened the scoring in the 51st minute, following a sequence that included a disallowed Franck Kessie goal and several missed opportunities by Cameroon, including Danny Namaso hitting the crossbar and squandering a clear chance. Christian Kofane also struck the woodwork in the first half. Bryan Mbeumo had a late opportunity blocked by Odilon Kossounou. Both teams now sit on four points. Algeria qualified with a Riyad Mahrez penalty, while Equatorial Guinea and Gabon were eliminated.
