Ethiopia secured a valuable point at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations when they came back from behind to earn a 1-1 draw at the Mbombela Stadium on Monday evening.
.
Collins Mbesuma scored Zambia's goal before the first 45 minutes ended but Ethiopia responded in the second half through a well-taken goal from captain Adane Goma.
.
The defending champions showed their intentions as early as third minute when Stopilla Sunzu was given room to push forward from the middle, but in the end he fired his shot over the crossbar.
.
However, at the peak of the game, a Zambian was caught late by the Ethiopian goalkeeper, who was then given a straight red card for his dangerous move, leaving his side to play most of the match with 10 men.
.
Ethiopia didn't allow the 10 man disadvantage to get to them as they endured they secured the necessary 1 point from the game.
