Algeria earns its first Women's World Cup spot with 2-1 win over Ivory Coast

Algeria earned its first berth in the Women's World Cup with a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.

Inès Khiris and Amira Braham scored for Algeria, which will face the winner of Sunday's quarterfinal between Malawi and Ghana in a semifinal Wednesday in Rabat.

After an earlier goal was disallowed for offside, Ivory Coast's Inès Konan broke through with a goal in the 29th minute.
