  • No winner emerged despite the extra time, hence, the game was decided through the penalty shootouts

Ivory Coast have qualified to the quarter finals of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations after defeating holders, Senegal 5-4 on penalties on Monday.

It was a pulsating 90 minutes that saw Senegal took the lead in the 4th minute through Habib Diallo before Franck Kessie leveled parity in the 86th minute, to send the game into extra time.

However, both teams failed to score a goal in the extra time, to send the game into penalty shootouts.

Kessie, who had scored from the spot four minutes from the end of normal time, converted the winning penalty to seal an extraordinary victory for the hosts, who redeemed themselves after a humiliating group-stage display which culminated in two defeats.
