Ivory Coast’s campaign during the Africa Cup of Nations has certainly not gone to plan so far, but they remain in the tournament and in with a chance - but they’ll have to really raise their game to see off defending champions Senegal in the round of 16.
The hosts fired head coach Jean-Louis Gasset after the group stage following two defeats and a single win over Guinea-Bissau, but they qualified for the last 16 as a best third-placed team regardless. Now with Emerse Fae as a caretaker boss they continue their adventure on home soil against the only side with a perfect group stage record, in Senegal.
Wins over Cameroon, Guinea and Gambia saw them top Group C and Sadio Mane and co will be optimistic about their chances of retaining the trophy - if they can get past the hosts.

FT - Senegal 1-1 Ivory Coast, 4-5 on penalties
Scenes as the players and coaches sprint onto the pitch, a quite incredible result for Ivory Coast considering they almost didn’t make it out of the groups.
And the champions are out! Senegal had it in their hands tonight, they led and should have really pressed on their advantage but exit in pretty tame fashion.
The hosts, however, roll on.

It’s Franck Kessie. He scored the penalty late in the 90 minutes to send the tie to extra time, and then onto penalties.
Now he can score to send the hosts to the last eight of the Afcon.
Up steps Kessie against Mendy once more...GOAL!
High, above the keeper, into the net and into the quarter-finals!!
