Zambia vs. Ivory Coast, 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Final: Drogba Treated For Head Injury

Stay connected with SB Nation

The second half has kicked off in the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations final, and... well, we haven't seen much action yet thanks to Didier Drogba being on the ground for treatment. The Ivory Coast striker went up for the ball against a couple of Zambia defenders, receiving a tap to the back of his head in the process and then going down in pain shortly thereafter.

It doesn't look like a big deal but the big man stays down for some time and some concerned looks are exchanged on the Elephants bench. Fortunately, he eventually gets back to his feet and get on with things. Within a few minutes, he nearly manages to get on the end of a low cross following good work by Gervinho, but he's crowded out in the Zambia box. That's better from the Ivory Coast, though - it's the first time they've had any real penetration down that side. They're going to need a goal soon, though, or the rest of this match will be very nervy.
