Ivory Coast easily beat Benin to assume a firm stranglehold of Group B.

Captain Didier Drogba opened the scoring on 40 minutes when he was put through by Yaya Toure.

Toure then converted a cross from brother Kolo Toure four minutes later before Kader Keita pounced on a defensive error on 52 minutes.

Aruna Dindane converted the fourth just after the hour while Razak Omatoyossi's injury-time header was Benin's second ever Africa Cup of Nations' goal.

Ivory Coast 4. Benin 1.
