Seko Fofana score in the fourth minute to lead Ivory Coast to a 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in their AFCON 2023 opening match at the Alassane Ouattara Olympic Stadium, Abidjan, on Saturday.
Following a riveting opening ceremony with Yemi Alade, Al Nassr midfielder, Fofana, wasted no time to continue the fanfare among fans when he thumped in a stunner from inside the penalty area for the lead.
Jean-Philippe Krasso doubled the lead just before the hour when his shot sailed beyond the Guinea-Bissau goalkeeper Ouparine Djoco to seal an straightforward win for Jean-Louis Gasset’s men.
Ivory Coast who have extended their record of not losing in 13 consecutive AFCON opening matches- eight wins- will look to continue the bright start against Nigeria next match in the West African Derby.
