Rain turns Africa Cup of Nations match into a mess

Cape Verde and Zambia’s Africa Cup of Nations lives are on the line. They have yet to qualify for the knockout stages and while Cape Verde could possibly advance with just a draw, Zambia need a win. The stakes are huge.

And this is the weather.

So with both teams playing in the biggest competition on their continent, and facing elimination, they get a face full of rain. And more rain. And a flooded pitch. And more rain.

So toss those conditions into high stakes and nerves. Surely nothing will go wrong.
