Africa Cup of Nations hosts Ivory Coast will be hoping to complete their miraculous run to the final when they face DR Congo in the last four on Wednesday.

The Elephants looked dead and buried after a dreadful group stage prompted the bigwigs to axe manager Jean-Louis Gasset, but they snuck through as one of the best third-placed teams - and caretaker boss Emerse Faé has since worked miracles to guide his team to the semi-finals.

After getting the better of reigning champions Senegal on penalties in the last 16, Ivory Coast secured a dramatic quarter-final defeat of Mali as striker Oumar Diakité hit a 122nd-minute winner, but the hosts' hero will miss this match after receiving a second yellow card for his celebrations.

DR Congo, ranked 67th in the world, are also unlikely semi-finalists after three successive draws in the group stage earned a last 16 meeting with Egypt, but they managed to dump out the seven-time AFCON winners in a penalty shootout.

The Leopards came from behind to beat Guinea in the last eight, with Brentford forward Yoane Wissa among the scorers in the 3-1 win, to keep alive their hopes of a first AFCON triumph since 1974.
