Zambia's Patson Daka produced a late showing to earn a share of the spoils in their Africa Cup of Nations encounter with Tanzania.

- Zambia drew 1-1 with Tanzania in AFCON on Sunday
- Leicester City striker Patson Daka scored the late equaliser 
- Morocco are up next on Wednesday
- The Copper Bullets can still qualify

The Leicester City striker, who played throughout the Group F fixture at Stade Laurent Pokou, secured a 1-1 draw in San-Pedro, rising highest at the near post to direct Clatous Chama's corner into the back of the net.

That came after Avram Grant's side had been reduced to 10 men in the first half, with Rodrick Kabwe shown a second yellow just before the break. The Copper Bullets were already a goal down by that point too, with Simon Msuva netting just 11 minutes into the contest. 

But Daka's heroics see Zambia remain in with a shout of qualifying for the knockout stages. On two points from two matches, they currently sit third and face leaders Morocco on Wednesday in their final group game (8pm kick-off).

On Monday, meanwhile, fellow Foxes forward Kelechi Iheanacho could be in action for Nigeria when the Super Eagles meet Guinea-Bissau in a 5pm kick-off.
