Hosts Ivory Coast sent reigning champions Senegal spinning out of the Africa Cup of Nations on Monday, winning 5-4 on penalties after their last-16 tie ended all square at 1-1 following extra time.

Habib Diallo scored an early opener for Senegal but Franck Kessie scored a late penalty to draw the Ivory Coast level - and then the same player converted the decisive spot-kick in the shoot-out to clinch a quarter-final against Mali or Burkina Faso.

As an Ivory Coast football fan, I am over the moon with this victory! We showed great resilience and determination to come back from behind and secure our spot in the quarter-finals. Kessie's late equalizer and winning penalty were just the icing on the cake. This is what the Africa Cup of Nations is all about - intense matches with amazing moments.

Wow, what a game! Ivory Coast showing their resilience to come back and win on penalties. Kessie stepping up when it mattered most, what a hero! Tough luck for Senegal, they put up a good fight. Can't wait to see who Ivory Coast will face in the quarter-finals!
