The keeper who scored the winning goal at AFCON

12 months ago Ivory Coast goalkeeper Boubacar Barry - nicknamed "Copa" - became a national hero when he scored the winning penalty in the final of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Barry also saved three Ghana penalties in one of the longest and most entertaining penalty shootouts in international football history.

Ivory Coast eventually won 9-8.

Barry had been second choice keeper throughout the AFCON but played in the final after the number 1 Sylvain Gbohouo was injured.

A year after his greatest moment, he's been looking back at the epic penalty shootout with our football reporter John Bennett.
