Ivory Coast champions: Miralem Pjanić's teammate couldn't breathe during penalties

In the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, Ivory Coast footballers managed to defeat Ghana after a penalty shootout, and the hero was goalkeeper Boubacar Barry.

After ninety, and then 120 minutes of play, the score was 0:0, and generally, both teams tried to catch the opponent's mistake rather than create a spectacle, so there were no chances. Ivory Coast players Bony and Tallo missed their shots, and Wakaso and Jordan Ayew gave Ghana the lead. Then Akua and Acheampong missed, while Aurier and Doumbia managed to equalize.

The aforementioned goalkeeper Barry then resorted to a trick, complaining of an injury, which greatly annoyed Aïew from Ghana, who nevertheless hit the net. Yaya Touré was accurate afterwards, and then the goals followed for an increasingly long series, which some, like Gervinho, couldn't even watch at one point! Our Miralem Pjanić's teammate at Roma literally couldn't breathe during the penalties.

The decisive moment came in the 11th series, as Barry saved the shot of his Ghanaian colleague Razak. Then Barry took the shot and scored, to the general joy of everyone in orange.

This was the seventh final appearance for Ghana in the AFCON, and they have only managed to win the trophy twice. A very emotional end, and many of Ghana's footballers couldn't hide their emotions, literally crying on the field, and the Ivory Coast players comforted them.
