West African country, Cote d’Ivoire has advanced to their second-ever quarterfinal in the Olympics after an impressive display against Germany on Wednesday. 

Ivory Coast was held to a 1-1 draw by the Germans which was enough to see them through to the last eight for only the second time in their history.

After a goalless opening half that saw both teams cancel each other, there would be a breakthrough when a Benjamin Henrichs own goal following pressure from  Christian Kouamé handed the Ivorians a the 1-0 lead on 67 minutes.

However, that lead only lasted six minutes as Germany equalised through a Edward Lowen’s superbly taken free kick, which heralded an end-to-end final 15 minutes of the game. 

Both sides came close to adding to the scoreline as they pushed on for winner with a barrage of attacks, bit the CIV held on for the much-needed point. 

They finished second on 5 points after a win and two draws behind Brasil, who left it late to defeat Saudi Arabia 3-1 in the other group D match thanks to Everton star, Richarlison.
