An Ivory Coast team packed with Barclays Premier League talent thrashed Benin 4-1 in the African Nations Cup to all but seal their place in the quarter-finals.
Following their opening win over a talented Nigeria side, the 'Elephants' now sit on a seemingly unassailable six points in Group B.
Chelsea striker Didier Drogba finished coolly five minutes before half-time to begin the rout and Yaya Toure, of Barcelona, then made it two in the 43rd minute following a fine dribble by his brother Kolo, the Arsenal captain.
Abdelkader Keita (52) scored a third, Aruna Dindane (62) added a fourth and Razak Omotoyossi headed a fine last-minute consolation for the minnows known as the Squirrels.
As well as Drogba and Toure, Salomon Kalou, Didier Zokora, Emmanuel Eboue and Abdoulaye Meite were also among Ivory Coast's Premier League contingent at the Sekondi Sports Stadium.
