Zambia Did It

It was tough. They needed to go to penalties. And they required Drogba to fuck up a penalty in regulation time (and to do so in true Chelsea fashion).

Ivory Coast could have wrapped up a perfect campaign, had Drogba scored that one.
Just like Chelsea, though, the Ivorian fell way short of the goal.
And their luck ran out at the end.

So, instead of celebrating six wins out of six matches, and the ultimate victory, Ivory Coast now has the distinction of not winning the Cup even though they conceded 0 goals! Pretty impressive... for the losers.

Kolo Toure and Gervinho missed penalties for Ivory Coast, namely the eighth and ninth kicks, respectively. Rainford Kalaba took the only missed Zambian penalty kick (right after Toure's).

Stopilla Sunzu held his nerves, after Gervinho gifted Zambian players with a second consecutive opportunity to win the PK lottery.

Zambia won, 8-7, after penalty kicks.

And Ivory Coast really must practice those kicks from the spot, because it's the second final they lose like that in the last six years. (They lost 2-4 on penalties, to Egypt, in 2006.)

Zambia in the Final of the African Cup of Nations

Ghana came into the semifinal against Zambia as the clear favourite.
Even the Zambian coach was in agreement.

But Zambia stepped up to the challenge and won the game.

Those who are looking for a scapegoat should look no further than Asamoah Gyan. He had missed a penalty at the World Cup in South Africa, and he missed a penalty in this game, too.
In minute 8, Gyan stepped up to take the spot kick and sent the ball weakly towards the goalkeeper's left. Mweene saved it, and Zambia ended up winning.
That's the gist of it.
Oh, yeah, and Mayuka's goal was well-placed and somewhat spectacular. It also came at the right time, with only twelve minutes remaining.

Too bad for Ghana.

Seems like Ivory Coast has a huge chance to lay claim to the title of Africa's best nation in association football, given Ghana's not qualifying for the final.
