Controversy for Kamara and Sierra Leone - Former SKC Wizards Update

With the international break going on this past week, many former players weren't in action. Many of those that were, were with their national team playing with their country. One of those players Kei Kamara was the center of some late controversy in Sierra Leone's 1-1 draw with the Ivory Coast. Heading into their final group game of African Cup of Nations qualifying, Sierra Leone needed a win over the defending ACN champions to advance to the tournament for just the third time. Down a goal with 20 minutes left, Kamara equalized for Sierra Leone with a diving header. Then in stoppage time, Sierra Leone won a corner, off of which Kamara headed a ball towards goal that was cleared off the line, but were followed by strong protests by Sierra Leone players that it had crossed the line. Unfortunately their protests went unheard and the 1-1 draw was enough to see Ivory Coast through to the 2017 tournament in Gabon.
