In the second round of the African Cup of Nations Group E, the winning Ivorian was suppressed by Sierra Leone in stoppage time, and the main goalkeeper Sangaray made a strange mistake.
Three minutes into stoppage time, when there were only about 20 seconds left in the game, Ivory Coast had a 2-1 lead. The Ivorian defender's header was passed back, and goalkeeper Sangare could have spent the last 20 seconds as long as he held the ball. But no one thought that Sangaray, without any pressure, actually let the ball leak out under his armpit, and finally was scored by the other side to score a goal that was suppressed, and Côte d'Ivoire got 3 points to 1 point, and had no chance to qualify early.
Ivorian goalkeeper Sangare injured himself because of this simple handling action of receiving a return pass from his teammate's header, and the stretcher entered the field to carry him out. After Sangaray came off, Côte d'Ivoire had already used up five substitutions, and they could only make captain Ollie a cameo as goalkeeper.
Speaking of goalkeeper Sangaray's strange gift at the last moment, Ivorian coach Patrice Bomel bluntly said that he did not understand. In a post-match interview, Patrice Bomel said: "Back in the dressing room, we were all silent, with our heads down, we gave our opponents 1 point and we lost 2 points. I still haven't figured out what happened to the second goal conceded, and that's probably the allure of the Africa Cup of Nations. ”
This Edition of the Africa Cup of Nations has made a lot of jokes, including the referee of the Tunisia vs Mali match, who blew the whistle twice in a row to end the game, and after the game, some officials came out to explain that the referee was delirious due to heat stroke.
