 Zambia eventually triumphed 8–7, with Stoppila Sunzu scoring the winning penalty.Some sections of the media criticised Herve Renard for being overly harsh on Nkausu; the manager shoved the defender during the match after he suffered a lapse in concentration and allowed Gervinho to bear down on goal.However, Renard claimed that Nkausu and his team–mates would not have been surprised or angered by the treatment, saying "For you maybe it's incredible for me to react like this, but they know me".
