Captain Yaya Toure put the Ivory Coast in front, with a power long-range shot, but in the 24 min Mbokani Bezua penalty leveled things up for the Leopards of Congo after Eric Bailly was the culprits to have handled in the box.

But the Elephants restored their lead through Gervinho with a curler after error from the Congo midfield to open up their defense and it was  perfectly buried into Muteba Kidiaba net.

The Ivorians made sure of victory when Wilfried Kanon kneed home after Serge Aurier's header had been saved to seal the game.

Ivory Coast now have a chance of wining the African cup of nations once again since 1992 when they won it last, but will have to settle the scores between the winner of the second semi final game to be played later today Thursday around 8 pm.

The match will be between 1982 Champions Ghana and the current host nation Equatorial Guinea.
