The Manchester City and Roma players scored either side of a Dieumerci Mbokani penalty before Wilfried Kanon secured the win
Herve Renard's Ivory Coast lived up to their billing as tournament favourites by securing a spot in the Africa Cup of Nations final with a 3-1 win over Democratic Republic of Congo at a sparsely populated Estadio de Bata.
Ivory Coast - who now await the victors of Thursday's second semi-final between Ghana and hosts Equatorial Guinea - are perennial underachievers in the competition, but now have a shot at winning their first title since 1992 thanks to goals from Yaya Toure, Gervinho and Wilfried Kanon.
Toure's was a stunning strike, though it was quickly cancelled out when Dieumerci Mbokani converted from the spot following Eric Bailly's handball.
