------------------------------------------------------------
Ivory Coast
Boubacar Barry: Had a good game, marshalled his defence, and made a last-ditch save to keep the score at 2-1 at the death. 8/10
Siaka Tiene: Had a quiet game, didn't quite a the handle on Gakpe's pace, made a bad back pass in the first minute. 4/10
Kolo Toure: Was the weakest link in the Ivorian defence, made one or two glaring errors. 3/10
Sol Bamba: Was solid for the majority of the match, didn't do too much wrong. 5/10
Emmanuel Eboue: Was quiet for the majority of the match. Got forward well, but didn't do too much to impress. 5/10
Yao Gervinho: Was a constant threat down either flank, set up the first goal and scored the second. 9/10
Didier Ya Konan: Combined well with Zokora in midfield for much of the game but faded out before being substituted. 6/10
Didier Zokora: Passed the ball well and controlled the tempo in midfield for a fair share of the game. 7/10
Max Gradel: Threatened down the flanks, constantly switching places with Gervinho to put the Togo defence to the sword. 8/10
Yaya Toure Scored the first goal with a typical run from deep. His positioning was a headache for Togo, as he started upfront next to Drogba. 8/10
Didier Drogba: Had a game to forget, didn't see much of the ball, and when he did he was either fouled or muscled off it. 4/10
Substitutes
Salomon Kalou: Made a few good runs, but failed to impress with his cameo appearance. 5/10
Cheick Tiote: Got stuck in as soon as he was on the pitch, linked the play between midfield and attack and got forward well. 6/10
Wilfried Bony: Was kept quiet when he replaced Drogba, his only contribution was a blocked shot. 4/10
Togo
Kossi Agassa: Had a good game, but there will be question marks over his positioning for the winning goal. 5/10
Abdoul-Gafar Mamah: Had a quiet game, didn't do too much wrong and got forward a few times. 5/10
Dare Nibombe: Marshalled the defence well, kept Drogba quiet and got forward on occasion to assist in the attack. 8/10
Vincent Bossou: Clashed with Drogba a few times and kept the Ivorian quiet for most of the match. 7/10
Dakonam Djene: Got forward a few times to join the attack, but was caught flat footed when he could have easily scored the equaliser. 4/10
Komi Amewou: Passed well in the midfield, but ultimately won't have too much to write home about. 5/10
Serge Akakpo: Kept the Sparrow Hawks' midfield ticking over, linked well with defence and attackers. 7/10
Alaixys Romao: Didn't do too much to excite, but couldn't handle Drogba when the former-Chelsea man dropped deep. 5/10
Emmanuel Adebayor Started well and ended well, but had a quiet game overall. 6/10
Jonathan Ayite: Had a good game and scored the equalising goal at the death of the first half. 8/10
Serge Gakpe: Would have caught quite a few eyes for his performance, pace to burn and was a handful for the Ivorian full-backs. 7/10
Substitutes
Floyd Ayite: Had a quiet cameo appearance, got forward well, but couldn't make his chances pay. 5/10
Kossi Segbifia: The midfielder did well to pick up the pace of the game, created a few opportunities at the end. 6/10
Moustapha Salifou: Was thrown on in an attempt to get the equaliser, but failed to do much in his two minutes on the pitch. 5/10
