Forward Seydou Doumbia scored a second-half equaliser to help Cote d'Ivoire hold hosts Equatorial Guinea to a 1-1 draw in an African Cup of Nations (Afcon) football tournament match.
Striker Mohamed Yattara had given Guinea a surprising lead in the 36th minute, and Cote d'Ivoire's forward Gervinho was sent off with a straight red card in the 57th Tuesday, reports Xinhua.
Cote d'Ivoire made it 1-1 in the 72nd minute when midfielder Yaya Toure and striker Wilfried Bony combined to feed 66th-minute substitute Doumbia.
Cote d'Ivoire will next play Mali Saturday.
