Wonderful scenes at the Stade de l'Amitie Libreville, Gabon
The closing ceremony was a masterpiece display of culture and graphics backed up by performances from American hip- hop star Akon and Gabonese diva Patience Dabany.
For the on the field action itself, a convincing display from tour- nament favourites Ivory Coast and surprise contender Zambia thrilled many but the never-to-be-forgotten moment was the penalty miss by the Elephants’ Captain Didier Drogba, which definitely cost the Ivorians the title which was finally won by Zambia on 8-7 in a penalty shootout.
