Ivory Coast vs DR Congo: preview
The last time Ivory Coast played at Abidjan's Alassane Ouattara Stadium, they got thumped 4-0 and looked destined to crash out at the group stage of their home tournament. One managerial sacking later, they're the most gripping team at AFCON, and one victory away from pulling off a remarkable turnaround.
We're not sure what Emerse Fae's team talks involve, but the Elephants' interim coach can do no wrong. Since being appointed out of sheer desperation, he's led them to riotous wins over Senegal, the holders, and Mali, a game in which they scored in the last minute of normal time and extra time stoppage.
Even then the drama wasn't done, as Oumar Diakite's euphoric celebrations earned him a sending-off that rules him out of this semi-final clash.
DR Congo are under no pretences about what they're up against. If the vociferous local support isn't challenging enough, there's now an inescapable sense of destiny. The Leopards need their main man Yoane Wissa to produce something remarkable for them to stand a chance.
