Ivory Coast drew with Sierra Leone in barely believable circumstances at the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday night, with goalkeeper Badra Ali Sangare forced off injured after conceding a bizarre own goal deep into second-half stoppage time.

Coming to collect a ball headed back to him by his own defender, Sangare dived to prevent Ivory Coast conceding a late corner.

But while hitting the turf, Sangare lost control of the ball and fumbled it to Steven Caulker, who crossed for Alhaji Kamara to score and make it 2-2.

Sangare was down on the pitch in discomfort after his collision with the pitch and had to be stretchered off.

With all three substitutes having been made by Ivory Coast, former Tottenham defender and captain Serge Aurier stepped in goal for the final few moments of the match but was not required to make a save.
