Holders Algeria knocked out of Afcon after Ivory Coast defeat

Algeria's 35-game unbeaten run was ended by Equatorial Guinea in a stunning upset in their last match, and they were outplayed again by the impressive Ivorians, who might have had more goals with better finishing.

Franck Kessie, Ibrahim Sangare and Sebastien Haller also scored to seal top spot in the pool with seven points. They are joined in the second round by Equatorial Guinea , whose 1-0 victory over Sierra Leone eliminated the latter. Algeria captain Riyad Mahrez missed a penalty, but Sofiane Bendebka grabbed a consolation as history repeated itself.

When they won their only other Afcon title in 1990, Algeria also exited in the first round of the next tournament after a 3-0 loss to the Ivorians, who went on to lift the trophy.

Something the last goal was deemed offside, don't mislead us EPL Rich Kids will have something bad to say about Afcon

Mina ngibone 3-1 or nimele... Anikhulumi udoti ngoZuma k'phela
