Guinea through
MALABO. – Guinea will play in the African Nations Cup quarter-finals after qualifying instead of Mali by the drawing of lots at a ceremony here yesterday.
Lots were drawn to determine second place in Group D after both countries finished level after their three opening round matches. Cote d’Ivoire won the group.
Three successive 1-1 draws for both teams meant they could not be separated by points, their head-to-head result, goal difference or goals scored.
Guinea will now play Ghana in Sunday’s quarter-final in Malabo at 6pm SA time.
“The gods of football fortune smiled on us. It has been a long road up to now,” Amara Dabo, financial director of the Guinea Sports Ministry, who participated in the draw, told Reuters. – SuperSport.
