Holders Egypt and Cameroon will meet in Sunday's African Nations Cup final after two remarkable semi-finals on Thursday condemned hot favourites Ivory Coast and hosts Ghana to elimination.
Defending champions Egypt ended Ivorian dreams with a 4-1 win in Kumasi, prompting thousands of celebrating fans to pour on to the streets in Cairo and bringing traffic to a standstill in many neighbourhoods.
Earlier, Ghana suffered a heart-breaking home defeat with a 1-0 loss to Cameroon.
Victory was bitter sweet for Cameroon defender Andre Bikey, who will miss the final after being red-carded for shoving a first-aid assistant in a bizarre incident at the end of the game.
Gotta love sports, although sometimes it seems the winner is the one who made the next to the last mistake. lol
