Nerves all round as Guinea and Mali forced to draw lots to go through

The Elephants of Ivory Coast are through to the Africa Cup of Nations knockout stages after beating Cameroon in their final Group D match.

But for Guinea and Mali the second qualifying spot from the group will have to be decided by drawing lots.

The two teams drew 1-1 today in their final group game - the third match in a row that both sides had managed that exact result during the tournament.

With no other means of separating the sides, whichever team's luck is out will exit.

Meanwhile, a goal from ex-Leeds forward Max Gradel gave Ivory Coast a narrow 1-0 victory over Cameroon's Indomitable Lions to top the group.
