Another Draw for holders Ivory Coast against DR Congo 2-2 | #CAN2017

Champions Ivory Coast twice pegged back DR Congo to earn a 2-2 draw and keep alive their hopes of reaching the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.

A clever throw-in routine was finished off by Neeskens Kebano’s low drive to put DR Congo 1-0 up but Wilfried Bony equalised with a powerful header.

DR Congo, who will not make the last eight, regained the lead two minutes later when Junior Kabananga headed in.

Ivory Coast salvaged a point when Serey Die’s 20-yard shot was deflected in.

Salomon Kalou was denied a late winner for Ivory Coast when he volleyed in superbly but the goal was ruled out for offside.

The result leaves Group C congested – at least until Friday’s late game between Togo and Morocco.
