Drogba goal sees Ivory Coast into World Cup

Ivory Coast became the second African nation to qualify for the 2010 World Cup tonight after a second-half strike from Chelsea star Didier Drogba earned them the point they needed to secure their place in South Africa.

There were also vital wins for Egypt and Cameroon in today's penultimate round of qualifiers, but the biggest celebration no doubt occurred in Blantyre, where the Elephants drew 1-1 with Malawi.
