A first-half header from Didier Drogba was enough for Ivory Coast to beat Sudan 1-0 in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations. The Chelsea ace received a cross from club mate Salomon Kalou to head home the only goal for the Elephants in the Group B opener. In the other game, Angola edged Burkina Faso 2-1, in a game that witnessed three brilliant goals. Mateus opened the scoring for Angola as Alain Traore equalized for Burkina Faso but Manucho hit the winner for the Palancas Negras in superb fashion.
