The penalty shootout was notable as the first time that every player on the field took a penalty in a major international final.[1] This would be repeated again when the two teams met in the 2015 final in another Ivorian victory.

Then current African Footballer of the Year and the tournament's best player, Abedi Pele was suspended and did not play for Ghana.
