EGYPT are through to the last-eight of AFCON after seeing off Ivory Coast on penalties.
Goalless after 120 minutes, it all came down to who could hold their nerve from the spot.
And Man Utd’s Eric Bailly was the only one to miss, his penalty tipped onto the crossbar by sub keeper Gabaski.
Mo Salah took Egypt’s fifth and decisive penalty, slotting home and sending his country through to the quarter-finals.

The managers, captains and players seem to be deciding the penalty-takers.
This would have been decided before today no doubt but you need to check the players are still up for it.
Big moment for players to make themselves national heroes.
