This Wednesday evening, continuation and end of the CAN group stages with the last two posters. And in this 8 p.m. multi, there was a lot at stake since three teams were fighting for first place. And obviously, this place was decisive for the final phase and to be in the best part of the table. This should logically be played out between Cameroon and Ivory Coast. But we couldn’t forget Mozambique, who surprised everyone on the first day.
On paper, the Elephants of Côte d’Ivoire were to play against a Gabonese team already eliminated and without Aubameyang, back at OM. But yet, in this match, Gabon hurt Côte d’Ivoire and scored two goals very quickly. Guelor Kanga and Denis Bouanga gave the Panthers the advantage. As a result in the ranking, Côte d’Ivoire went second and therefore found itself in the table part of Morocco, Algeria, the DRC and Nigeria.
Ivory Coast makes a comeback
Trailing by the score, Emerse Faé’s team inevitably looked towards Cameroon and its performance against Mozambique. Another twist of fate, after 23 minutes of play, Mozambique led the score thanks to a goal from Geny Catamo. As a result, Mozambique took the lead in the group, sending Cameroon and Ivory Coast to the other part of the table. But that did not last as Cameroon scored two goals to get back in front and secure first place.
Nene scored an own goal before Kofane gave his team the lead after returning from the locker room. With this success, the Indomitable Lions took first place in the group, but we had to watch out for Ivory Coast who came back into the game at the end of the match thanks to goals from Krasso and Guessand. And in an incredible scenario, Bazoumana Toure gave his team victory in the last seconds. Ivory Coast regains first place at the last minute and will face Burkina Faso while Cameroon will play South Africa.
