Ghana's Black Stars take on Yaya Toure and the Ivory Coast in the final of Africa's premier football tournament staged in Equatorial Guinea
After three weeks of goals, saves and a huge dose of controversy, the final of the Africa Cup of Nations is almost upon us.
The run up to the tournament was overshadowed by Morocco's decision to pull out of hosting the competition due to the Ebola outbreak.
Equatorial Guinea stepped up to the plate, but the stand-in hosts were part of chaotic scenes in the second semi-final, where they were soundly beaten by Ghana.
The Ivory Coast overcame DR Congo in the other semi, and will maintain their tag as pre-tournament favourites ahead of the final.
