This is the big day ! This Sunday, the entire African continent but also the entire planet will have their eyes glued to the final of the African Cup of Nations between Nigeria and Ivory Coast (9:00 p.m.).
Close to elimination from the group stage, Côte d’Ivoire has come a long way. The Elephants successively eliminated Senegal, Mali and the DRC to reach the final of THEIR African Cup of Nations.
Interviewed at the microphone of Telefoot after qualifying against the DRC in the semi-final (1-0), Sébastien Haller sent a strong message to his partners but also to the Ivorian people. “Now we’re caught up in something where we have to see it through to the end,” did he declare. The Ivorians must now finish the job. But it will not be a cakewalk against Nigeria.
The Super Eagles are undefeated since the start of the tournament and dominated the Elephants in the first round with a score of 1 goal to 0.
