Ivory Coast falls from a height

Winners of Guinea-Bissau four days earlier (2-0), the Elephants were unable to continue against Nigeria this Thursday.

For their second outing in this CAN of which they are the hosts, the Ivorians lost 0-1, beaten by a penalty converted by Troost-Ekong (55e).

A meeting all the more frustrating for Ivory Coast as its captain, Aurier, left with an injury in the second half.

The Super Eagles for their part can breathe easy, having been neutralized by Equatorial Guinea when they entered the fray (1-1). Equatoguineans at the head of the group after two days.
