Côte d’Ivoire qualified for the CAN final this Wednesday by eliminating DR Congo (1-0).
Incredible scenario that the one written by Côte d’Ivoire in its own African Cup of Nations. Qualified in Forceps at the end of the group stage – with two defeats suffered in three matches and a third place in a miraculously saved group – the host country of this CAN 2023 still felt the breath of the ball in the eighth against Senegal and quarter against Mali … and these are the Elephants in the final of their tournament!
“” It’s incredible, it’s a great joymarvel at Emerse Faé, improvised coach since the departure of Jean-Louis Gasset at the end of the rout wipened in front of the Equatorial Guinea (0-4). Since we have been drafted, guys have been making incredible things. They still delivered a big match today. “”
A revenge to take
In the absence of a shimmering game, the Ivorians were able to be sufficiently combative and united to overcome a solid Congolese selection. It is on an improbable volley of Sébastien Haller-as a symbol-that the Alassane Ouattara stadium of Abidjan was able to exult shortly after the hour of play (1-0, 65e).
Double winner of the CAN in 1992 and 2015, Côte d’Ivoire can run for a third coronation on Sunday, facing a Nigeria which for its part took the best on South Africa at penalties (1-1, 4 TAB at 2). The Super Eagles, they will then target the pass of four. During the first round, the two nations clashed and the Nigerians won on a penalty from Osimhen (1-0).
