Ivory coast Books a Spot in AFCON final 2015

An early goal from Ivory Coast captain and current Africa’s best player Yahya Toure set the stand for an Ivorian victory over DR Congo in their semi final clash at the ongoing AFCON 2015.

After a slim attempt at goal by a fellow teammate, Toure pushed forward to blast home a golal giving the much-fancied Elephants an early lead.

The lead was however quickly equaled four minutes later when Cameroonian referee Neant Alioum awarded a penalty to the Congolese for a handball in the Ivorian box. Dieudonne Mbokani expertly converted it, restoring a semblance of hope for the DR Congo.

After a close tackle to score close to halftime, but being denied by a defensive header, Gervinho netted a 2nd goal for the Ivoirians, changing the whole complexion of the game.

The final blow was sounded for the DR Congo when Ivoirian defender Winfred Kanon left his mark to bang in the a 3rd for the Elephants.

By this result the Ivoirians have booked a spot in the finals awaiting the other semifinal match between Ghana and hosts Equatorial Guinea.
