As per AFCON rules, a draw of lots (Yes, a DRAW OF LOTS!), was conducted at the Hilton Hotel in Malabo to decide which team advanced to the quarterfinals. The last time a draw of lots was needed at AFCON was in 1988
Guinea won the draw of lots, and Mali were therefore sent home. Guinea qualifed as runners up in Group D behind Ivory Coast, and will play Group C winners Ghana in the quarterfinals.
