Daka scores as Zambia draw Afcon opener

Leicester City forward Patson Daka scored a stoppage-time equaliser for Zambia as they opened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 1-1 draw against Mali.

The 27-year-old was making his 54th senior appearance for the Copper Bullets and scored his 22nd international goal with a header in the 92nd minute in Casablanca.

Daka was on the end of a Mathews Banda cross to secure a point and they are third in their group after hosts Morocco beat Comoros 2-0 in the tournament's curtain-raiser on Sunday.

Mali had taken a 61st-minute lead through Lassine Sinayoko.
