Ivory Coast produced a spirited performance to record a comeback win over the Black Satellites of Ghana.
The host-and-win agenda by the Ghanaians failed miserably, as they missed a number of clear-cut chances to have secured a final berth against Nigeria.
Benjamin Tsivarnyo scored an outrageous goal for the Black Satellites just two minutes into the semifinal at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre for Excellence, Prampram.
Abdoul Bamba, captain for the baby elephants of Ivory Coast equalised from the penalty spot six minutes later before Ali Kone stunned the host nation with a long-driving strike to send the Black Satellites crashing out.
