Even if they still have a tiny chance of being among the best third-placed teams who will qualify for the round of 16 of the competition, the Elephants disappointed again on Monday, during a scathing defeat conceded against Equatorial Guinea (4-0). Enough to provoke the anger of the supporters. But false information was posted online on social networks.
There were scenes of violence, particularly in the streets of Abidjan. However, there was no stone-breaking of the selection coach, as “fake news” reported Monday evening on social networks. According to information from LSI-Africathe bus Elephants was not attacked. Supporting photos, the media explained that it “ It would rather be two buses from the Société des transports abidjanais (SOTRA) “.

Be careful with social networks
As Thimothée Maymon confirmed last night on the channel The Team, the Ivorian players were in reality still confined in the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara (Abidjan). Present in Ivory Coast, the journalist described the situation: “ I took some information and this team is currently stuck at the stadium and can’t get out because there are angry fans outside the stadium. » In conclusion, we must therefore be vigilant when browsing social networks, and not take all the statements that are made at face value.
