Ivory Coast seal Africa Cup of Nations place as fans invade pitch

Ivory Coast qualified for the Africa Cup of Nations after a lacklustre 0-0 draw with 10-man Cameroon, but a pitch invasion at the full-time whistle sparked dramatic scenes.
Visitors Cameroon had Stephane Mbia sent off just before the hour mark in Abidjan, and the match ended in farcical circumstances with the Ivory Coast players passing the ball around in defence as their opposition showed no desire to win possession.
At the full-time whistle Ivory Coast fans ran onto the pitch to celebrate their side's qualification success, with pictures emerging of supporters pulling the crossbar down at one end of the pitch. #MORE pics below:
