On the second day of the African Nations Cup quarter-finals, there was no shortage of tension and dramatic moments. Nigeria's national team secured a spot in the semi-finals by defeating Tunisia in a thrilling penalty shootout, and Ivory Coast, after an extraordinary penalty shootout where all players from both teams scored, forced Cameroon to surrender. Nigeria 1 - 1 Tunisia (after extra time, penalty shootout 6-5) 5' [1 - 0] Victor Nsofor Obinna 48' [1 - 1] Karim Haggui Nigeria took the lead in the 5th minute when Tunisia's goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel deflected the ball to Nigeria's forward Victor Obinna, who scored accurately. Ten minutes later, the Tunisians had a chance to level the score, but Vincent Enyeama saved Clayton's penalty kick. In the second half, Tunisia quickly equalized through Karim Haggui. The game then calmed down and turned into a tough battle. After full time ended in a tie, the match went into extra time. During this period, Tunisia's goalkeeper A.Boumnijel excelled and maintained the equal score. The penalty shootout started well for Tunisia, but Nigeria's goalkeeper V.Enyeama saved two consecutive penalties. After the players of both teams successfully converted their spot-kicks, Nwankwo Kanu scored the sixth penalty for Nigeria, while V.Enyeama, who had become the hero of the day, saved the decisive penalty taken by Tunisia's Riadh Bouazizi. Nigeria won the penalty shootout 6-5 and crowned themselves champions, defeating Tunisia, who had triumphed two years earlier. Cameroon 1 - 1 Ivory Coast (after extra time, penalty shootout 11-12) 92' [0 - 1] Kone Bakari 95' [1 - 1] Ze Meyong Cameroon and Ivory Coast had recently fought in the World Cup qualification playoffs in the African zone. The match was cautious, with both teams focusing more on disrupting their opponents play than attacking. Although there were attempts from long range, the first real scoring opportunity fell to Cameroon's Samuel Eto'o but he missed the target. Ivory Coast's Didier Drogba also failed to score despite attempting to attack the opponents' goal. After a goalless full time, extra time was played, and Ivory Coast took the lead. Bakari Kone scored after Emmanuel Eboue's shot hit the crossbar. Cameroon quickly responded, and Ze Meyong equalized the score. In the second half of extra time, K.Toure prevented the young Cameroonian from scoring, while Ivory Coast's goalkeeper Hamidou saved Romaric Ndri's penalty kick. The match then went into a penalty shootout, where all players on the field, including the goalkeepers, scored without errors. After a penalty retake, Ivory Coast won the shootout 12-11, advancing to the semi-finals, where they will face Nigeria.
