A rare event was recorded at the AFCON tournament.

In the match between the teams of Nigeria and Uganda, three Ugandan goalkeepers managed to play during the game.

In the second half of the match, the main goalkeeper of the Central African nation, Denis Onyango, suffered a leg injury.

The 40-year-old player was replaced by Salim Jamalis Magoola, who managed to "earn" a red card in just 11 minutes.

This meant that a third goalkeeper, Nafian Alionzi, had to step onto the field.

Nigeria, which won the match 3:1, secured first place in Group C, while Uganda's tournament has already ended.
