Ivory Coast wins the Africa Cup of Nations

                       

The long awaited glorious moment just arrived, the african nations cup final which ended goalless after 120 minutes. Ivory Coast wins the African nation's Cup in grand style via penalty kick-out; as goalkeeper Barry scores dramatic winning penalty in shootout. Ivory Coast win 9-8 on penalties.

The match between these two great sides; the "Black Stars of Ghana and The Elephants of Ivory Coast" has being drawn out of the regular match time into the extra-time and then resulting into penalty kicks. Both sides really tried playing safe game as they will not explore the moment; going out of their shell but rather looking for each other's loop holes. This made the match a boring and lengthy one. 

Well! The Elephants have it this time... Ivory Coast take the Cup; as team adopts a high spirit of jubilation as they celebrate their success of the tournament.
