What a save from M’Bohli! (51st)

Aurier’s strike!! (50th)
What a dry strike from the captain of the Elephants! Serge Aurier came close to burying Algerian hopes for good with this strike from outside the area.
Big opportunity for the Ivorians! (49th)
Grandpa finds Aurier splitting in the right lane, Aurier’s cross in front of the goal line goes a hair’s breadth from Haller’s sole. Algeria pushes a “phew” of relief.

Here we go again !

Half time in Douala!
It’s half-time in this match, Ivory Coast leads 2-0 against Algeria! At present, Côte d’Ivoire is first in group E and Algeria is eliminated! If the possession is in favor of the Fennecs, it is the Ivory Coast which dominates this match. As soon as they are in possession of the ball, the Elephants show perfect control and it is quite logically that Kessié, then Sangaré, sinks Algeria.
Baghdad Bounedjah.

Algerians can’t find each other (42nd)
Unlike the Ivorians, the game of the Fennecs is sorely lacking in movement and therefore in solutions for the ball carrier. The Algerians do not manage to find each other, except by long ball over the defense.

Mandi makes a magnificent opening over the defense for Belaili. The n°8 misses his control in the middle of the Ivorian surface and returns the ball to Sangaré. We regret that Belaili did not attempt the volley…

Corner for the Fennecs (26th)
Deli clears the ball for a corner after an opening in depth for Belaili. Bensebaini’s header is off target.
Foul from Attal (24th)
Youcef Attal is struggling in his right lane today. The OGC Nice defender concedes another foul against Gradel.

We are still waiting for Mahrez to light up this meeting, the Manchester City winger completely misses his free kick, six meters for Côte d’Ivoire.
New foul from Deli (14th)
The Ivorian central defender plays a lot with his arms and has just pushed Belaili in the face after a duel. Be careful not to take red, Belaili is still on the ground. Free kick.

Second yellow for the Elephants. The former PSG defender comes to challenge the card decision on his teammate and also receives a yellow.
First carton (11th)
Simon Deli warned after an aerial duel with Bounedjah. The Ivorian central defender’s arm drags and hits Bounedjah’s face in the air.
The game chopped by faults (10th)
The game is often stopped by small faults on each side. We are waiting for this match to ignite!
Oh the first thrill! (7th)
