Mali 1-1 Ivory coast

Max Gradel struck late to earn Ivory Coast a draw with Mali and keep alive their hopes of reaching the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.
Mali had looked to be heading for victory, thanks to a superb half-volley from Bakary Sako after seven minutes.
But the equaliser came on 86 minutes when Gradel slotted in from 12 yards.
Earlier, Ivory Coast were denied a penalty when Wilfried Bony appeared to be upended by Molla Wague, while Kolo Toure headed against the bar.
