30th : Come on, a little refreshment break.
29th : Jean-Mickaël Seri’s free kick is sent directly to Abidjan. Not sure this is a good strategy.
29th : Oumar Diakité is on the ground, but gets up. Nothing serious.
9:26 p.m. : The Ivorians are present in the duel, with Krasso and Fofana trying in front of the surface, but it is countered by the Senegalese defense.
26th : Well come on gentlemen, it would be a question of putting a little more rhythm. It’s not that we fall asleep, but almost.
24th : Gradel’s center is much too long. There is a lack of technical accuracy offensively on the Ivorians side.
22nd : good work on his right side from Marseillais Ismaila Sarr, who recovers a free kick. Senegal gets their foot back on the ball.
20th : The Elephants are pushing, for the moment without creating any real chances.
19th : The Senegalese no longer have the ball at all.
17th : Sadio Mané goes into contact a lot. Be careful though for number 10 who already has a yellow card.
17th : The pace has fallen a little since Sangaré’s injury. For the benefit of the Ivorians, who are a little better in this match.
15th : The beautiful number of Seko Fofana, who pierces the Senegalese defense. Then, it shows spontaneity. But the pressure is good and the Elephants recover the ball on a touchline.
13th : It seems that this little break did good to the Ivorians, who are a little higher up on the ground and trying to build certain phases.
12th : Come on, Ibrahim Sangaré will be back on the pitch. It’s good news.
11th : We spoke a little quickly, Sangaré comes out on a stretcher. Another hard blow for the Elephants. And therefore no VAR…
10th : The stretcher is on the pitch but Ibrahim Sangaré will be able to take his place again.
9th : For the moment, no VAR called, while the Ivorian midfielder is still on the ground.
9th : Oh Sadio Mané’s big mistake on Sangaré. The former Liverpool player takes yellow, but it could be red…
7th : The Senegalese continue to push, believing that a first goal is not enough for them.
5th : Olalalala it’s going to be hard on the minds of the Elephants.
4th: Mané’s perfect cross for the former Strasbourg striker, who smashes the Ivorian cage after a great check.
3rd: THE BUUUUUUUT OF HABIB DIALLLOOOOO WHICH BREAKS THE IVORY GOAL
2nd : Mané again, who makes a bad deflection for Ismaila Sarr. But the Senegalese are starting strong.
1st : first Senegalese offensive, with a Mané-Jakobs combination. This gives a first corner.
0e: Here we go!
8:59 p.m. : We’re hot here, it’s about to start.
8:57 p.m. : Well, in the eyes of the Ivorians, we feel that there is the desire to take revenge on this first nightmarish round.
8:54 p.m. : The stadium is full, we will be treated to a superb atmosphere. Time for hymns.
8:52 p.m. : The two countries will enter the pitch of the Yamoussoukro stadium.
8:49 p.m. : You’re all waiting for it, here’s my prediction: 0-0, we’re going to penalties. And Ivory Coast takes out Senegal to everyone’s surprise.
8:48 p.m. : What are your predictions, Minutos? You can participate in the comments section (the best, funniest or most relevant will be relayed here).
8:46 p.m. : Faé has decided to line up the old players for this round of 16: Seri, Aurier, Gradel are the starters.
8:35 p.m. : We will enter this match slowly with the team compositions
8:33 p.m. : In the first eighth of the day, Cape Verde continues its incredible journey, and qualified for the quarter-finals by beating the other surprise of the CAN, Mauritania (1-0)
8:30 p.m. : Only thirty minutes left before the clash of these round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations!! We can’t wait for it to start. Looking forward to seeing the Ivorians bounce back after the slaps they received during the group stage. Looking forward to seeing the Senegalese face their favorite status. In short, it’s going to be a great match.
8:30 p.m.: Let’s go for this live, we can’t wait any longer!
There it is, the poster for these round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations: Senegal-Côte d’Ivoire. But we didn’t expect to see this shock at this stage of the competition. If the Lions of Terenga assumed their status, it was much more complicated for the Elephants, who qualified ric-rac and even saw their coach, Jean-Louis Gasset, be resigned (yes, we will say it like that) after the rout against Equatorial Guinea (0-4). Former Nantes midfielder Emerse Faé took over, even if the Ivorian leaders wanted to obtain the loan of Hervé Renard. In vain. So, will the Ivorians be able to create a surprise at home?
