African Nations Cup 9/2/2008 - Third Place Play Off Ghana vs Ivory Coast Match Highlights

In a repeat nightmare from their semi final, overwhelming tournament favourites Ivory Coast lost to host nation Ghana by a whopping 4-2 scoreline in the African Nations Cup third place play off and after having gone ahead earlier in the match. Too often we have seen such results happen in soccer as the big favourites impressed in the tournament before crashing out at the critical stage, and then going downhill from then on. Didier Drogba so often the big talker and captain of Ivory Coast, was not able to do his job well and score goals for the team. Koulo Toure would have been better off staying at Arsenal as he showed again his frailities on the big stage. But take no credit away from Ghana as they rose above themselves to bring the third place reward to their fans but at the end of the day they would still have been disappointed by not having won the African Nations Cup. Watch the match highlights and look out for the great equaliser and second goal from Ghana.
