Bissouma's Mali match abandoned in Côte d'Ivoire

Yves Bissouma's final match of the September international break was cut short on Tuesday night as Mali's friendly clash with Ivory Coast was abandoned following significant rainfall.

Facing Cote D'Ivoire in the coastal city of Abidjan, Yves started the game to pick up his 30th cap for his country however, come half-time, the game was abandoned as a deluge in the latter stages of the first period, left the pitch waterlogged and unplayable come the end of the break.

The match had been 0-0 at the time with Ivory Coast having seen a goal ruled out in the opening minutes of the clash.

It was Yves' second outing of the international break having produced a sublime assist in his side's 4-0 win  over South Sudan on Friday.
