The goals continued to flow at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday with a record created as hosts Ghana beat Ivory Coast 4-2 in the third place play-off.
A first half equalizer by Ivorian striker Boubacar Sanogo was the 94th goal of the tournament -- one more than the previous best set in Burkina Faso 10 years ago.
Ghana, appearing in the play-off for only the second time, took the lead after 10 minutes thanks to a rocket from Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari.
He unleashed a left-foot free kick from outside the penalty area that flew past a crowded goalmouth and through the hands of Tiasse Kone.
Sanogo, who plays for German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen, leveled after 24 minutes by sprinting on to a through ball, holding off John Mensah and placing the ball wide of goalkeeper Richard Kingson.
On 32 minutes overworked Kingson blocked a close-range Didier Drogba effort, but the rebound rolled kindly for Sanogo, who tapped in to complete the first half scoring.
A tame second half came to life after 70 minutes when substitute Quincy Owusu-Abeyie left several Ivorians trailing as he turned on the pace before firing under Kone.
Junior Agogo scored on 80 minutes to edge the Black Stars ahead, springing an offside trap to burst through.
Haminu Draman added a fourth five minutes from time with a shot from outside the penalty area that took a sudden bounce that left Kone embarrassed.
