In what was to be a routine match against Malawi, the Elephants left their biggest names on the bench and found themselves down 1-0 in the 63rd minute.
Enter Didier Drogba.

Two minutes.

On Saturday, Cesc showed the impact of his game-winning control as his inch-perfect through-ball laid on the goal that won the three points.
Be the player, behind the player.
Business as usual

If you’re Cristiano Ronaldo, you do what you’ve always done.
Just 27 minutes into his European debut, he fired in a trademark free kick. Then added another in the second half.
Same again next time?
