Come on, we'll see you on Sunday evening (9pm) in a fantastic final between Ivory Coast and Nigeria
11:01 pm
It's been said and done, but the Ivorians are coming back out of nowhere
The Elephants made a last-minute qualification to the Round of 16 after two group stage losses including a defeat to Equatorial Guinea (0-4), losing their coach Jean-Louis Gasset in the process. After Hervé Renard's crazy no-show incident, Emers Fay takes over. His team eliminated defending champion Senegal on penalties in the eighth round (1-1, 5-4 on kicks), then outperformed Mali, scoring goals in the final moments of regular time, then extra time (2-1 AD). On the other hand, there's nothing more to say this Wednesday, the Elephants have mastered their subject.

Even if it takes the Ivorians some time to reach the semi-finals, which are undoubtedly tense due to the stakes, they deserve their victory.

I finish !!!! Ivory Coast, after an amazing journey, will play the final of the Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday against Nigeria
90+4
Ivory Coast is very close to the score 2-0! Bamba ran from deep and dribbled past Mbasi, but his cross was sent away for a corner kick
It still smells very good to Ivorians.
90+2
Simone Panza hits a direct shot 25 meters from the Ivorian goal, much higher
90+1
Corner for the Ivorians who continue to press
There will be five minutes of extra time.
The ninety
Top scorer Haller emerges to the cheers of the crowd, as does captain and decisive passer Gradel
Krasu and Pooja will finish the match.
87
The Panthers suffered a heavy blow since the Ivorian's goal, more than 20 minutes ago
They can no longer look dangerous, which is unfortunate when you're being driven around.
84
Ivorian Amani's shot was completely wrong
But hey, I decided to mention it anyway. I do what I want, because I have control over this life.
81
I have to admit I'm amazed by Max Allan Gradel
I honestly thought he was a 'carpo', being over 36, especially on the youth wing. After a somewhat discreet first period, the former Toulouse player woke up and made the decisive pass that sent Ivory Coast now into the Africa Cup of Nations final. The seventh for Gradel, who won the 2015 edition.
Eighty
Simon Adingra, who has been less visible since the restart, was replaced by Jonathan Bamba, an old acquaintance from Ligue 1.
Unfortunately, Young Boys striker Berne left the team immediately after the match, and was replaced by another striker Silas.
78
Elijah's next shot! The Congolese finally reacted
Unfortunately, Young Boys striker Berne left the team immediately after the match, and was replaced by another striker Silas.
77
Well, “Zlatansky's gem”, I wouldn't say that
But the Ivorians don't care.
74
Ibrahim Sinjari receives a small piece of paper sent by the administration through one of his colleagues to give him instructions. Take that, AI
Surprisingly, this comes just before the refreshment break, as these instructions could have been given to him orally.
Seventy-first
Another goal ball to go!!!
Congolese defender Gideon Kalulu involuntarily headed the ball to the Ivorian striker, but the latter shot Mbasi wide of the goal. Care must be taken not to regret these missed opportunities for Ivorians.
69
Bakambu, Bikel and Wesa leave the Congolese side
Panza, Miley and Chipola enter. Sébastien Desabre tries to play a game of poker, as his players have struggled since the opening of the Ivory Coast score.
68
Oh Haller's double ball!
But the Ivorian striker's header from a corner kick went just over.
66
Haller was already a darling of the Ivorians, and his popularity would only rise further
The story is well-known but beautiful: the former Auxerre beat cancer last year.
