Ghana and Ivory Coast – 3rd place Battle

Ghana and Ivory Coast – 3rd place Battle

Ghana – Ivory Coast is the small final of the 2008 African Cup of Nations edition. It’s also called the bronze medal game, or the match for the third place. Many expected this teams into the final before the semifinal games. But both where denied by Cameroon respectively Egypt. If Egypt demolished the Ivory Coast and left them no chance to the final, Ghana and Cameroon had a balanced game. Cameroon’s time stalling at the end left me a bitter taste though.

During this CAN 2008 both teams collected 4 wins and a loss. They won all the games in their group stage and also the quarter finals. The similarity continues as both lost in the semifinals of course.

Drogba’s side where considered the biggest favorites to win the CAN 2008, by most of the bookmakers. Their group-stage and quarter-finals strengthened proved this expectations. The finish was poor.
The defeat against Egypt changed everything. Ghana started the game with a moral advantage. They are also the host nation and where very determined to win the medals in front of their own crowd.
