The young forward found himself clear through on goal in extra time’s last minute and even though he unleashed a decent effort, the Frenchman’s strike was stopped by opposition goalkeeper Emi Martinez.
Had Kolo Muani had found the back of the net, Konate would have bagged a simply excellent assist.
