Serge Aurier – Cote D’Ivoire

Serge Aurier is indisputably one of the continent’s hottest prospects, but the fullback, who plies his trade in Paris, was responsible for a humiliating gaffe against Guinea. The 22 year-old headed Ibrahima Traore’s cross right into the path of a poised Mohamed Yattara who made no mistake from six yards out. The mistake set Cote D’Ivoire back, and Aurier was visibly relieved when Les Elephants equalized later in the match, nullifying his mistake.
