Didier Drogba blazes over from spot after hour mark

Zambia delighted in winning their first Africa Cup of Nations title by beating tournament favourites Ivory Coast on penalties.

After 14 kicks were converted, Kolo Toure and Gervinho failed to find the target for the Elephants as Zambia’s Rainford Kalaba also blazed over.

But Stoppila Sunzu found the top corner to spark wild delight.

It was a heartbreaking end for Ivorian skipper Didier Drogba, who also missed a spot-kick in normal time.
