Ivory Coast sealed a semi-final place in the Africa Cup of Nations with a 3-0 victory against co-hosts Equatorial Guinea on Saturday.

After missing a penalty, the Ivory Coast's captain, Didier Drogba, took advantage of a defensive slip to score in the 36th minute and headed into the top corner in the 69th. Yaya Touré added a third with an 81st-minute free-kick in the match in Malabo, Equatorial Guinea.

The Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper Emanuel-Danilo Clementino saved Drogba's penalty in the 29th minute following a foul on Didier Zokora.

Earlier, Zambia cruised to a 3-0 win against Sudan to become the first team through to the last four. Gabon play Mali and Ghana face Tunisia in the other quarter-finals on Sunday.
