It all happened at the Mandela bay with action picking up at a very fast pace. The game experienced some tense moment when Ronaldo apparently dived at the danger zone, he was confronted by Didier Zakora for the same and both earned themselves yellow cards. Both teams showcased very good game experiences, but none struck the net in the first match. Ivory coast had the better part of the first match, but the Portuguese defence proved a great wall. A goal was almost witnessed when a strike from the world's most expensive player C. Ronaldo hit the crossbar. Second half came, with Ivory Coast showing its intentions of scoring evident from the time go with Solomon Kalou (Chelsea) and Gervinho(Lille) leading the strikes but still nothing. Deco almost nailed it but was stopped by the GK Boubacar Barry (Lokeren). The love for Drogba was felt with the vuvuzelas blowing louder when if came on at the 65 minute when if came in for Kalou. He almost nailed it too at the 90+ minute but opted to pass and nobody was there to just tap it in. Final score 0-0 with Africa proud to have a team like this one, even though they never won.
