Ivory Coast goes home with 9-8 penalty shootout victory over Ghana.

The match ended goalless after 90 minutes and went to extra time to decide the eventual winner.
Copa Barry, the Ivorean goalkeeper saved a penalty and then got up and scored for his team during a sudden death penalty shootout to win the 2015 Africa Cup Of Nations.

The team were first to threaten when Yaya Toure fired a free kick over the bar after his new Manchester City teammate Wilfried Bony had been brought down on the edge of the box.

The triumph at the Estadio de Bata in Bata, Equatorial Guinea, represents the second time the Elephants have won this coveted title and ends a 13-year wait for silverware.

This is their first Africa Cup of Nations since 1992.
