Ivory Coast won their first Africa Cup of Nations
since 1992 in dramatic fashion, beating Ghana
9-8 on penalties.
Wilfried Bony smashed his spot-kick against the
crossbar but the Elephants recovered in the
shoot-out, eventually taking the title when
goalkeeper Boubacar Barry saved from his
opposite number Razak Braimah and then
stepped up to score.
It was an exciting end to a game that had been
anything but, with Premier League stars Bony
and Yaya Toure unable to create enough to win
the game in 90, or even 120 minutes.
