MATCH FACTS


Ivory Coast beat Cameroon to earn a place in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals as Group D winners.

Max Gradel scored the goal that gave the Elephants the only victory in the six matches in the group and saved them from the fate of drawing lots.

He smashed in a drive from 20 yards after taking advantage of a poor touch by Cameroon defender Jerome Guihoata.

Edgar Salli missed two good chances to equalise, hesitating when clean through and also blazing over from in the box.
