(Reuters) -Egypt booked a quarter-final place at the Africa Cup of Nations with a 5-4 shootout victory over Ivory Coast on Wednesday as substitute goalkeeper Mohamed Abo Gabal saved Eric Bailly's tame penalty and Mohamed Salah stroked home the decisive spotkick.
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.
Mohamed Salah fired seven-times winners Egypt into the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals as they edged past Ivory Coast in a dramatic penalty shoot-out after a goalless draw.
It ended, as it had for a long time seemed that it would, with penalties. Eric Bailly, who had had an excellent game, had his dinked effort pushed against the bar by Egypt’s substitute keeper Mohamed Abou Gabal, and that was enough for Egypt to extend their unbeaten run against Ivory Coast in Africa Cups of Nations to six games and progress to the last eight. And it was enough for Carlos Queiroz to claim another triumph by suffocation.
