The noise around the Alassane Ouattara Stadium was deafening, as Sebastien Haller hooked home the only goal of the game on Wednesday night, and sent Ivory Coast into the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, thanks to victory over the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
More than 50,000 people had created a passionate sea of orange, inside an impressive three-tier stadium built specially for the country's first hosting of AFCON since 1984.
