The penalty shootout was the first time that every player on the field took a penalty in a major international final.[1] This would be repeated when the two teams met in the 2015 final in another Ivorian victory.
Abedi Pele, who was the African Footballer of the Year and the tournament's best player, was suspended and did not play for Ghana.
