Mali fought back to an unlikely 4-4 draw after trailing hosts Angola by 4-0 with 11 minutes left in the opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations.

The home side went 2-0 up in the first half thanks to two headers from striker Flavio, while Gilberto and Manucho scored a penalty each to make it four in the second half.

But Mali grabbed one back when Seydou Keita stabbed home from close range.

Frederic Kanoute headed in a second before Keita and Mustapha Yatabare scored in injury time in Luanda.
