Humiliated by Equatorial Guinea, Ivory Coast fell from a great height in front of its public, who hardly appreciated it.
A huge humiliation for Ivory Coast. The Elephants will most likely say goodbye to their African Cup of Nations dream at home in the group stage. Following an initial success against Guinea-Bissau, the home side collapsed in their second outing, falling 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea. This is quite simply the biggest setback suffered by the Elephants in the African Cup of Nations. A historic beating.
Ivorians hope for a miracle
Very uninspired in front of the cages this Monday evening, the Ivorians, who also scored twice in an offside position, now no longer have their destiny in their hands. Fights between Ivorian supporters and stewards were observed in a corner. Bottles of water and a chair were thrown at the stewards by a few dozen disgruntled supporters.

One of the big favorites for the event must now hope for a huge stroke of luck to qualify among the four best third-place finishers in the group. For its part, Equatorial Guinea finished at the top of the group and qualified for the 8th round, ahead of Nigeria.
