YAMOUSSOUKRO (Reuters) - Holders Senegal were determined to depart the Africa Cup of Nations with dignity intact despite losing to hosts Ivory Coast in a match overshadowed by controversial refereeing decisions, coach Aliou Cisse said after their elimination on Monday.
Senegal let their early lead slip four minutes from time in the last 16 clash when they gave away a penalty, allowing the Ivorians to equalise for 1-1 and force the game to extra time and penalties, where the hosts won 5-4.
