Libya book place in Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals

Libya have booked their place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations thanks to a dramatic 2-2 draw with Congo in Polokwane.

The result has seen Javier Clemente's side finish in second place in Group C, one point behind winners Ghana.

Congo opened the scoring on 35 minutes when Moise Nkounkou pounced inside the box to hit a scrappy volley past Mohamed Abdaula.

They then doubled their advantage eight minutes into the second half as Hardy Binguila found the net with a spectacular effort from 25 yards.

Libya pulled a goal back on 75 minutes through Abdel Salam Omar, and they grabbed their all-important equaliser three minutes into added time when Abdelrahman Fetori hit home with a low half-volley.
