Result: Ivory Coast muster comeback in Belgium

Ivory Coast hold Belgium to a 2-2 draw in Brussels.

Ivory Coast fought back from two goals down to draw with Belgium in Brussels this evening.

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini gave the Belgians the lead after 15 minutes with a header from Dries Mertens's cross.

Radja Nainggolan made it 2-0 in fortuitous circumstances six minutes after the restart when his low cross was parried into the net by Ivorian stopper Arthur Boka.

Christian Benteke then spurned a glorious chance when he fired over the bar from six yards out with an open goal to aim at.

Didier Drogba pulled one back for the Ivorians on 74 minutes when he hit a right-footed effort into the bottom corner following a good cross from Yaya Toure.

The African side had their equaliser deep into stoppage time when Max-Alain Gradel scored four minutes in to give his team a share of the spoils.
