Heavyweights Ivory Coast reached the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup Of Nations 2023 with a stutter rather than a strut. Having lost to Nigeria and being humbled by Equatorial Guinea in their group, the hosts scraped through to the next round as the worst-ranked of the four third-place teams deemed best among the rest at the end of the stage.

Once there, though, they found the rhythm they had hitherto lacked. A penalty shootout triumph in the round-of-16 not only send the reigning champions Senegal tumbling out of the contest bt reignited an entire country's dream of winning the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.
Just three games stand between Ivory Coast and AFCON glory at the time of writing, but their immediate challenge is to overcome a Mali side that has looked threatening, if not totally lethal, thus far.
Mali flew into the round-of-16 as group winners and then beat Burkina Faso, 2-1, to book their place in the next round. Should they upset the hosts, they will face either DR Congo or Guinea in the semi-final.
