But what a feat for Mendy to divert the first Ivorian header before unleashing Heller’s point-blank shot!

Unable to believe!
A fabulous overflow from Mane and just like the first goal, he crosses at the near post! The action never ends!

Opportunities don’t rain

Ivory Coast without a solution

Elephants push
It’s Ivory Coast’s turn to find themselves in the opposing camp but it doesn’t do anything. Note the great atmosphere in the stands!
3 minutes lost
Sangare is on the ground for a few minutes and needs to be taken out on a stretcher. VAR was not called, Mane is doing well.
Man gets a yellow card and is lucky
Watch out for Sadio Mane’s huge sole on Sangare who doesn’t control his tackle at all. It wasn’t really far from red but it would just be yellow.
The lions maintain their grip
Corner for Senegal who hold on! It’s at the near post but returned by the Ivorian defence.
Senegal’s first firework, 1 to 0 for the Lions!

Gasset, Renard, Fa… It’s been a turbulent few days on the Ivorian bench
Coach Jean-Louis Gasset could not survive Ivory Coast’s disastrous first round. Before knowing if his country would be saved in the best third, the French technician was thanked by the Ivorian federation.
What followed was a maddening 24 hours during which Les Bleus coach Hervé Renard was asked by Côte d’Ivoire to wear the mantle of nation’s savior by coach “loan”, unprecedented in observers’ memory.
But a deal would not go through and it is ultimately former international Immers Fay who will take his place on the Ivorian bench for this Monday’s clash against Senegal.
Hello everyone!
Welcome to RMC Sport site and app to follow live and complete round of 16 clash CAN between Senegal, the title holder, and Ivory Coast, the host country. Kick-off will be at 9 pm.
With three victories in three matches, including a convincing one against Cameroon (3-1), the Senegalese go through this first round of CAN with confidence. And yet, the Lions of Teranga are not rewarded as they have to beat the host nation, Ivory Coast, in the Round of 16.
Because for their part, the elephants experienced a real nightmare. After a peaceful opening match against Guinea-Bissau (2-0), the Ivorians, despite being listed as favourites, were completely liquefied, beaten by Nigeria (0-1) and most humiliated by Equatorial Guinea (0-4).
Ivory Coast thus trembled until the last match of this first round as to whether they would be in the best third. Elephants saved at the last minute have nothing left to lose.
