Cote D’Ivoire, the host of the ongoing African Cup of Nation (AFCON) opened their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-0 win against Guinea-Bissau.
Seko Fofana scored the opening goal and gave the Elephants the perfect start they need in the Group A clash in Abidjan as he launched home a goal from just inside the area in the fourth minute.
A second opportunity for the Ivorians failed as Fofana fired a powerful shot which tipped on to the bar by Ouparine Djoco.
Jean-Philippe Krasso hooked in the second after the break after some smart control under pressure in the box.
