MALABO, Equatorial Guinea - Wilfried Bony scored two goals Sunday to help give the Ivory Coast a 3-1 win over Algeria and a spot in the semifinals of the African Cup of Nations.Bony headed in a cross from Max Gradel in the 26th minute after being left completely alone at the far post. The Manchester City forward scored another in the 68th, nodding in a free kick taken by club teammate Yaya Toure.Gervinho, who was back after serving a two-match suspension, added a third in injury time as the Algerians pushed forward in a desperate attempt to equalize.Hilal Soudani scored Algerias goal in the 51st, taking a pass from Riyad Mahrez that trickled through a weak Ivory Coast defence and beating goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo.The Ivorians, who won their only African Cup title in 1992, will next face Congo on Wednesday in Bata.With Toure and Bony but without Didier Drogba, the Ivorians came into the tournament as a big favourite. They drew their opening two matches against Mali and Guinea, but beat Cameroon to win a tough Group D.Although they are playing without Drogba, Ivory Coast still has plenty of quality throughout its squad. And it was Gradel, a midfielder who plays for Saint-Etienne, who provided some key goals in the group stage.He came on as a substitute and scored a late equalizer against Mali, and then the winner against Cameroon a few days later.On Sunday, it was all about Bony, who recently completed a move from Swansea to Man City shortly before the African Cup started.I think the Ivory Coast team is very lucky, Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard said. He was the best scorer in England in 2014. I think when you just said that, you can explain everything.With Drogba, the Ivorians twice reached the African Cup final, but both times lost on penalties. The last time was in 2012, when Renard led Zambia to a surprising title.

I kept my eyes focused up on the camera during each approach. I just tried to stay focused on my form, as I didnt know what the ball reaction was. I was quite emotional at the end. I did not actually see any of the shots in the game until I got home and watched the video. Gareth Bale Jersey .

The title recently vacated by St-Pierre will be on the line at the March 15 card in Dallas when No. 1 contender Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks faces No. 3 (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler (22-9 with one no contest). Hendricks (15-2) is coming off a controversial split decision loss to St-Pierre at UFC 167 last month. The Condit-Woodley winner could become the next title contender. The 170-pound championship has belonged to St-Pierre since he won it back from Matt (The Terror) Serra at UFC 83 in Montreal in April 2008. St-Pierre (25-2) beat Condit at UFC 154 in November 2012. Condit (29-7) has beaten Martin (The Hitman) Kampmann and lost to Hendricks since then. The Condit-Woodley announcement Tuesday means that seven of the UFCs top 10 welterweights have fights scheduled. Condit was due to meet No. 8 Matt (The Immortal) Brown last Saturday on a televised card in Sacramento but the fight was called off when Brown (20-11) was sidelined with a back injury. The unranked Woodley had campaigned on Twitter to be Browns replacement. Woodley (12-2) is coming off an impressive first-round TKO win over veeteran Josh Koscheck.dddddddddddd The 31-year-old from St Louis went 8-0 in Strikeforce before losing via fourth-round TKO to Nate (The Great) Marquardt in a title bout. He opened his UFC account with a first-round stoppage of Jay Hieron before losing a close decision to Jake Shields. Shields, ranked seventh among 170 pounders, is expected to meet Hector Lombard at UFC 171. Montreals Rory MacDonald, ranked fourth, is to fight No. 6 Demian Maia at UFC UFC 170 on Feb. 22 in Las Vegas. And No. 10 Tarec (Sponge) Saffiedine takes on Hyun Gyu Lim on a televised card Jan. 4 in Singapore.
