The host nation of the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON), Ivory Coast (otherwise known as Cote D’Ivoire) might be on their way out of the competition after losing 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea in Group A.

Following their abysmal performance on Monday night, they will be finishing the group in third place. This means they will await results from other groups in the coming days to determine if they will advance to the next stage as one of the six “best losers”.

In another Group A clash, the Super Eagles of Nigeria finished in second place after defeating Guinea-Bissua 1-0 courtesy of a first half own goal from Bissau’s defender, Opa Sangante.
