Another WTF Match, What a Comeback

Another WTF (what the f***) match. That's the comment of someone, which is posted on Valencia's Offside blog. This comment was related to African Cup of Nations' first match between Angola and Mali, that ended in a 4-4 draw.

There was something extraordinary, especially with the final whistle approaching. At first the host dominated the match, and cruising to a comfortable-looking 4-0 victory. By 78th minute, it looked like Angola had secured all three points, with 4-0 on the scoreboard. However, it wasn't to be, because Mali committed an epic comeback, or you can also say a wtf comeback, by smashing four goals in to equalize in the last 12 minutes + injury time, with last two goals being scored in the injury time. Logic had really been torn apart here. Mali showed that anything can happen and that it is not really over until it's over.

Suddenly, there were faces of disbelief from both teams and fans. How come the host slipped the four goals advantage away in the last 15 minutes, or more ironically, slipped three goals advantage away in the last 5 minutes.

Mali's goals were scrappy, as a result of poor defending. Anyway they're probably not concerned about it too much.

This is truly regarded as one of the most unbelievable comeback ever achieved in football.

Here is the highlight of the match:
