On Saturday 13th January 2024, at the Olympic Stadium Ebimpe in Abidjan, team Ivory Coast secured a well-deserved victory over Guinea Bissau.

The Elephants of Ivory Coast dominated the first half, with a lone goal giving them the lead. In the second half, Jean-Philippe Krasso doubled their advantage, sending the home fans into a frenzy.

Reports say, the stadium was filled with orange-clad supporters, creating a vibrant atmosphere with drums and songs.

Meanwhile, just before the end of the first half, Moro Cassama of Guinea Bissau was booked for a foul on Krasso.
