Mali stunned Angola with 4-4 amazing tie

"In my 42-year career as coach this is the first time something like this has happened," Said Angola's Portuguese coach Manuel Jose.

Angola was leading 4-0 till the 79th minute, when Mali came back amazingly to tie 4-4

In my life I can remember few games like this:
- 2005 Champion League final Liberpool vs. AC Milan: the first half was 3-0 for Milan when Liverpool scored 3 goals in the second half in a span of 6 minutes. Later then won by PKs.

- 1989 Youth WC U-20 Nigeria vs. Soviet Union: Soviet Union was leading 4-0 till 25 minutes from the end. Nigeria scored 4 goals in 25 minutes, one of them was an incredible free kick. Nigeria won by PKs.
I saw that game at the stadium as it was in Saudi Arabia.

- 1982 WC Semi Final Germany France 3-3: I consider this also amazing enough. The game ended 1-1 and at the extra time France scored twice and it was apparent that France will play their first WC final in their history. Amazingly, Germany scored 2 goals and almost scored the winner. Later they won by PKs.

Till now, the first three games in CAN 2010 were surprising: Mali tie, Malawi beating Algeria 3-0 and Burkina Faso ties 0-0 with the favourites Cot Devoir.
