The Elephants took an early lead in the 29th minute through Inès Konan, but Algeria equalized with a goal from A. Braham in the 64th minute, courtesy of a set-up by M. Dafeur.
The match saw Ivory Coast reduced to 10 players after N. Ouédraogo was sent off in the 42nd minute. Despite taking a late lead, Ivory Coast failed to capitalize on the opportunity, with R. Elloh missing a penalty kick in the 62nd minute. Algeria, buoyed by their impressive run in the tournament, will now face the semi-finals in their quest for a maiden WAFCON title.
