DRC snatch draw with Cameroon

Cape Town - Yannick Bolasie equalised deep in stoppage time on Wednesday to hand the Democratic Republic of Congo a 1-1 draw away against Cameroon in a warm-up international ahead of this month's African Nations Cup finals.

Bolasie, who only arrived from Crystal Palace on Tuesday and was used as a second half substitute, took advantage of a tiring home defence to score after a pass from Chancel Mbemba.
