Eric Bailly missed a penalty as Egypt beat Ivory Coast in a shootout to book their place in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations following a 0-0 draw. On a bobbly pitch, The Elephants made a bright start but the Pharaohs finished the first half stronger with Omar Marmoush rattling the bar with a spectacular shot from distance and Mohamed Salah's shot from the edge of the box tipped over. Ad/> The Ivorians, who lost Franck Kessie to a suspected rib injury, went closest through Ibrahim Sangare's bicycle kick which was saved.

Egypt eased into the knock-out stages of the Africa Cup of Nations courtesy of a 1-0 victory over a toothless Sudan in Yaoundé.
