After a disastrous 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea on Monday evening, Ivory Coast finished the preliminary round of Group A in only third place. Equatorial Guinea captain Emilio Nso scored two goals. He already has 5 goals in this tournament.
Group leaders Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria, who beat Guinea Bissau 1-0 at the same time, qualified for the next round. Ivory Coast must now hope to be one of the top 4 teams in third place after completing the other five groups in the preliminary round.
Then Jean-Louis Gasset's team will also advance to the round of 16 despite the meager return of 3 points (2: 5 goals). As early as 1984, when the country also hosted the Africa Cup of Nations, it was over after the preliminary round.
