But after Moussa Djenepo stumbled in front of goal after latching on to Marega's superb through-ball, the momentum swung completely.

Jonathan Kodjia hooked an effort wide from an Ivory Coast corner, with Franck Kessie just unable to divert it goalwards.

The Aston Villa striker then ran on to a long ball over the defence but despite goalkeeper Djigui Diarra slipping, Kodjia allowed him to recover and make the save.

Gbohouo had an erratic day in goal but claimed the assist for the Elephants' 76th-minute winner. His long free-kick was missed by Kodjia, deceiving the Mali defence, and Zaha finished calmly under pressure from Diarra.
