Ivory Coast took the bronze medal, beating Guinea 2:1 in an eventful third place play-off match.
Ivorian keeper Abdoul Cisse played a key part in the Elephants' win, saving two penalties.
Guinea missed the chance to take an early lead when Ibrahima Sankhon's spot-kick was saved by Cisse in the 27th minute.
Just four minutes later, Guinea gifted Ivory Coast the opener with an own-goal from the unlucky Mohamed Youla.
The Ivorians doubled their lead three minutes later through Badie Gbagnon.
It was a case of deja vu for Guinea in the second half when Alseny Camara stepped up to take another penalty only to see Cisse save this one too.
Aboubacar Leo Camara did pull one back for Guinea five minutes from time, but Ivory Coast held on to secure the win.
