Ivory Coast: 1x

Greece qualified for the last 16 of a World Cup for the first time with a dramatic win against Ivory Coast.

Celtic's Georgios Samaras converted a controversial injury-time penalty to seal the win after he was judged to have been fouled by Giovanni Sio.

Greece had taken a first-half lead when substitute Andreas Samaris scored after Cheick Tiote's defensive mistake.

Ivory Coast had looked like advancing as Wilfried Bony equalised from Gervinho's pass, before the late twist.
