The 2012 African Cup Of Nations was a good one ,with some youngsters and underdogs giving us a big surprise. The biggest shock of the tournament was the final itself.
The final was played between Zambia , the underdogs and Ivory Coast.
The Ivory Coast were the hot favorites to win the cup. But Zambia called the Copper Bullets, gave Ivory Coast, called the Elephants the shock of their lives.
The much experienced Elephant players with huge stars like Dider Drogba, Kolo Toure and yaya Toure, Emmanuel Eboue with E.P.L experience should have won it with ease.
But Drogba missed a penalty in the 69 th minute. And after the match ended 0-0 after extra time. During the penalty shoot out Zambia won 8-7. With Gervinho blasting the ball wide, and Kolo Toure having his penalty saved.
