Ghana, the hosts of the African Cup, recently beat Nigeria 2:1 in an intense match. Yakubu scored an early penalty but the wonderfully talented Michael Essien tied up the scores for Ghana. Nigeria then pressured their opponents but it was Ghana who won thanks to simple goal by Agogo in the 83rd minute.
In a much less close game the Ivory Coast crushed poor Guinea 5:0. Until the 70th minute however the Ivorians only lead 1:0. Then Didier Drogba, Arouna Kone and a fantastic double by Solomon Kalou demoralized the poor Guineans. They are now favorites for the title along with Ghana.
