Wilfried Bony finally broke his Africa Cup of Nations duck, as his two goals put the Ivory Coast into the semi-finals of the competition.
Before Sunday night, Bony had not scored since becoming Africa's most expensive footballer last month, and the Manchester City man struggled for form so far at this tournament, finding chances hard to come by, and even harder to take.
But against the tournament favourites he twice headed his country in front, the second coming from a cross by his new team-mate Yaya Toure.
In between Hilal Soudani had levelled things up, keeping his calm to finish from close range after Riyad Mahrez had taken advantage of some dreadful defending.
But the Ivorians withstood heavy pressure from the tournament favourites, before a last-minute Gervinho strike sealed their passage to a last-four clash with DR Congo.
