CAN Maroc-2025 : La Côte d’Ivoire corrige le Burkina Faso et donne rendez-vous à l’Égypte
Defending champions Ivory Coast will indeed be present at the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. In a highly anticipated West African duel, the Elephants largely dominated Burkina Faso (3-0).
From the outset, Emerse Faé's men imposed their rhythm against a timid Burkinabé side. More enterprising, Franck Kessié's teammates were quickly rewarded. Well-positioned, Amad Diallo seized an opportunity in the Stallions' penalty area and chipped the ball delicately over Hervé Koffi (20th minute).
Dominating possession and more incisive in attack, the Elephants doubled their lead a few minutes later. From a perfectly weighted cross by Amad Diallo, Yan Diomandé finished with a clinical finish (32nd minute). The African champions thus went into halftime with a comfortable advantage.
Upon returning from the locker room, Ivory Coast, superior in every aspect of the game, calmly managed their lead. Burkina Faso struggled to respond and proved unable to trouble the Ivorian defense. Late in the match, Bazoumana Touré sealed the victory for his team by scoring the third goal (87th minute).
With this clear and decisive victory, Ivory Coast secures its place in the quarter-finals and will face Mohamed Salah's Egypt in a top-of-the-table clash.
