Within a couple of minutes of Max Gradel's miss for the Ivory Coast, Emmanuel Mayuka has come incredibly close to capping off a great tournament with an injury time winner for Zambia! Isaac Chansa fed the young hitman with a lovely scooped pass over the defence, and it looked for all the world as though Boubacar Barry was about to concede his first goal of the campaign.
Zambia vs. Ivory Coast, 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Final: We’re Going To Extra Time
However, just as Mayuka was about to pull the trigger, Kolo Toure managed a desperate clearance, booting the ball away for a corner, which Barry is eventually able to catch. The goalkeeper is a very relieved man there - that could easily have been the end of the Elephants' run. Instead, we're getting at least another thirty minutes. Four minutes of injury time are over, and we're still at 0-0 in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final. Let's hope extra time is as fun as normal.
