00:00and making it into the quarterfinals, hands on hips for Kessier, up he steps up against Mendy

00:08and he finds the back of the net and Ivory Coast are level and an enormous cheer comes out of this

00:15stadium and across the country and all the substitutes run off the bench to celebrate

00:21with Kessier and they are level and the coolest man in Ivory Coast seems to be MS Fayet

00:27the interim coach Kessier not far behind him what an enthralling end we've got to this game

00:34what drama here in Ivory Coast and Clifford Malinga you cannot say that that is not what

00:40the elephants have deserved well like I said they're all in the game on the right hand side

00:45making it very difficult for Serge Aurier to get back in his team I think if they get to the final

00:51Rodel hangs it back, Halle at the back post, HALLE GOAL!

01:00Sebastian Halle

01:04Cote d'Ivoire are in the league, Cote d'Ivoire are indeed in the league that was a beautiful

01:10you know walked you know cross coming in you know from the right and Halle he didn't get

01:15the contact that he deserved that he really wanted but what really matters

01:19is the ball hitting the back of the knife and 1-0 Ivory Coast ahead

01:26well you can hardly hear yourself think here at the Alassane Ouattara stadium

01:32the Ivorians have taken the lead Sebastian Halle has delivered his face is plastered all over the

01:39bullboards across the city he's in every possible advert here in this country an absolute folk hero

01:46and this will make it even more one a little unorthodox they all count Sebastian Halle

01:53with the opening goal the 36 year old man the captain Gradel did that Sgt Rod Ford brought

01:59in that cross beautifully like I said

02:01Adingra will take the corner the crowd are on their feet here it comes Gnabaly back post shots, GOAL!

02:14Frank Kessier, Cote d'Ivoire are back in the game

02:22Frank Kessier is the scorer up like I said Mike you know those crosses they've been waiting for

02:28those crosses and at the end of the day it came from a corner kick now that's a beautiful strong

02:32corner kick the Nigerian defense you know what the ball they allow the ball to go through them

02:37and Kessier was right there and then they had the ball into the neck and like I said earlier before

02:42the goal the Nigerian must know that the Ivorian team are the team that have come from behind in

02:47the last three games and now it's game on Matt we've still got plenty of time here but Frank Kessier

02:56ensures parity after an hour another set piece another goal and Nigeria's defense for once let

03:04them down yeah you can see a five green Nigerian shirts you know none of them attack the ball

03:10and that's why you know I'm not a fan of zone marking you know you should pick your man

03:15man to man but the zone marking allowed the ball to you know pass all on the edge of the area

03:21on the edge of the area with Diakite with Kessier in the middle over the head of Hala

03:30Conan out wide Adingra to attack Ina again Adingra

03:34can he cross it's a great ball it's a goal

03:39who got the touch was it Hala or was it Tuesday come

03:42but we have to wait and see you know from the replay like I said Matt

03:46you know how long can you absorb this pressure how long can you absorb this pressure

03:50because when you look at the divers keep coming they keep coming and they've brought in Diakite

03:54and then you know to the game and Andreja they will keep using you know the flank how much can

03:59Nigeria you know what you know you know protect that from coming but the Nigerian band didn't do

04:04anything and the ball keep going to the flank and those crosses keep coming in they have come

04:10from behind Cote d'Ivoire to lead here in the final Sebastian Hala

04:21a quiet game for the big
