Elia and Pickel are eliminated from the African Cup: host country Ivory Coast in the final against Nigeria

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 iQNQmc”>

Winning goal scorer: Sébastien Haller scored the only goal for Ivory Coast in the semi-final.

Thanks to Bundesliga striker Sébastien Haller, Ivory Coast defeated the Democratic Republic of Congo in the semi-finals. The Borussia Dortmund striker scored the decisive goal in the 65th minute with a direct shot in the Ivorian team’s 1-0 victory.

This means that there can still be a happy ending for Ivory Coast, which only survived the preliminary round with a lot of luck and thanks to the help of the shooters and even replaced the coach. However, the outsider from Congo with Charles Pickel from Solothurn and the YB attacker Meschack Elia must bury his dream.

Nigeria in a penalty shootout

The second finalist is Nigeria. The team led by top star Victor Osimhen won 4-2 on penalties against the previous surprise team South Africa. After regular playing time, the score was 1-1 after two penalties from Nigerian William Troost-Ekong (67′) and Teboho Mokoena (90′).

The Nigerians are in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2013. Two years later, Ivory Coast won their last continental championship title to date. (SDA)
