Ghana came up tops by beating the Ivorians by four goals to two.

Sulley Muntari scored Ghana's opener in the 10th minute.

Ivory Coast equalised in the 24th minute through Buobakar Sanogo.

Sanogo got the second goal for his side in the 32nd minute.

In the 68th minute Quincy Abeyie cancelled the lead.

Junior Agogo made it 3-2 for Ghana in the 80 minute.

Four minutes later in the game, Haminu Dramani slotted in the fourth goal from a long range.
