In the other Group B encounter, the Ivorians made sure they progressed as pool winners after a 2-1 victory against Tanzania.

Nsira Ouedraogo opened the scoring just before halftime, and then the same player won a penalty early in the second half, which Ines Konan converted to double the lead.

Tanzania put up a late rally and pulled a goal back through Diana Msewa from a penalty late in the game, but it was too late to mount a comeback as the East African country was eliminated from the continental tournament.

Ivory Coast will take on Group A runners-up Algeria in the quarterfinals on Saturday.
