5x expanded by Amakuru (talk). Self-nominated at 21:43, 9 July 2021 (UTC).
- Article has been 5x expanded according to DYKcheck (as is now also a good article, so would be eligible under that criterion too), longer than 1,500 characters (16750 characters), and article is within policy
- hooks are both short enough, interesting, in the article, and well cited. Either hook is fine in my opinion
- QPQ done
- Overall, this nomination passes, congratulations. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

Comments
- "The game finished..." reiterate "The final finished..."
- France24 - our article has a space in there.
- "Ivory Coast had the game's only shot on target on 12 minutes..." seems odd to go back chronologically...
- "fourth kick" perhaps "fourth penalty kick" and link it.
- "Coast the title..." I would include the final penalties score here too.
- "of the tournament, ... The tournament" mildly repetitive.
- "but CAF" explain/link CAF first time.
- "They have previously..." had?
- 1992 is overlinked.
- Check it out, we have Group of death.
- "Their opening game..." Ghana's opening game...
- Link corner.
- Link foul.
- Link substitute first time.
- "game, Ghana faced Algeria. The game.." game/game, maybe switch one for match?
- "Ghana who scored right" perhaps "took the lead" to avoid repeating "scored/scoring".
- "by BBC Sport as" previous article italicised this.
- Link referee.
- "Guinea, who had not been able to play any home games" did you mention where this one was played?
- Link sent off.
- Keïta is missing his diacritic.
- General: you don't include the location of most of the matches, why not?
- "game kicked off" attendance, ref?
- "the wall" link to the gloss.
- Use {{'s}} for The Guardian's...
- Ref 23 says "SMmth," is this a notable Alan Smith by the way?
- "long balls" maybe "long passes"
- "first booking" link.
- "off-ball" don't we normally call these "off-the-ball"?
- Link penalty area.
- "goalkeeper Wilfried Kanon," overlinked.
- "combined on the right-hand side" I know what you mean but do all our readers?
- You link midfielder but I don't think I saw you link defender, goalkeeper, attacker etc.
- Five "chance" in one para, maybe mix it up a little.
- Link cross (in the Ivory Coast route to the final section).
- "penalty shoot-out. In their report of the game, BBC Sport said" both overlinked.
- "to step up and" do we need that?
- France24, same as before.
- "Afriyie Acquah was" overlinked.
- That sentence is unreferenced.
- Scorelines in ref titles should be en-dash, not hyphen.
- Britannica is a work.
- goal.com can be linked in ref 7.
- Why isn't BBC Sport consistently formatted/linked?
- Ref 14 - the -> The
- Spaced hyphens should be en-dashes.
- External link isn't 2015-specific.
