Ivory Coast into Afcon quarter-finals


Ivory Coast became the second country after Equatorial Guinea to reach the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals thanks to a 2-0 win over Burkina Faso in Group B.

Captain Didier Drogba crossed for Chelsea team-mate Salomon Kalou to score from close range early on and Bakary Kone headed an own goal in the closing stages to eliminate his team from the last-eight race.

The other knockout place rests between Angola and Sudan, who drew 2-2, with Angola holding a three-point advantage going into the final series of group games on  Monday.
