Ivory Coast through to another African Nations Cup final

Dr Congo 1 Ivory Coast 3

Beaten finalists in 2012, the Elephants will have the chance to go one better against either Ghana or hosts Equatorial Guinea this weekend after goals from Yaya Toure, Gervinho and Wilfried Kanon helped the 1992 winners to victory. Dieumerci Mbokani’s penalty cancelled out Toure’s opener and although Dr Congo had several chances after falling 2-1 behind, their hopes receded late on.

The Leopards, two-time winners of the competition, could equal their best finish since last lifting the trophy in 1974 if they win the third place play-off.
