AFCON 2015: Guinea through to the quarter-finals to face Ghana after drawing of lots

Guinea are into the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations after prevailing in the drawing of lots with Mali.

The 'lottery' meant Guinea finished second in Group D and will now face Ghana in the last eight on Sunday, despite not winning a single group game.

Mali and Guinea had the same number of points and goal difference, after they drew 1-1 in their final group game in Mongomo.

The last time lots were drawn to decide a team's qualification in this tournament was in 1988 when Algeria qualified at the expense of the Ivory Coast. ...SkySports
