Na so na! Ivory Coast don clear the way to quarter-finals for AFCON 2025 after dem show Burkina Faso say na dem be reigning champions. Na 3-0 dem take finish dem for Marrakech, and e no be small thing!
First half, na Amad and Yan Diomande show their skills; dem score two sweet goals wey carry Ivorian squad enter halftime with solid lead. E be like say Burkina Faso no fit find their rhythm at all as dem dey look for how to turn the table.
The second half fit no too dey as e be, but African champions sabi how to manage a game; dem keep Burkina Faso at bay. Later, Bazoumana Toure, wey just come off bench, run fast-run way clear and seal am with fine goal. Na wah!
Ivorian manager, Emerse Fae, don really gather troop wey fit defend their title. Since 2010, na only Egypt don manage this kinda matter, so you fit imagine wetin dey at stake here. Na serious test for the Elephants as dem dey come face Egypt wey don win the cup seven times!
As e be, all three goals wey Ivory Coast score show say dem dey on top their game. Amad goal na my favorite; e use improvisation show plenty class for crowded box. Na wetin make African football sweet, no be so?
Burkina Faso try small, but no fit match the attacking prowess wey Ivorian side bring. Fofana, the keeper, dey save plenty shots wey dem throw for am. Na so dem dey try but nobody fit spoil party for Ivory Coast tonight!
Now dem don plan to meet Egypt for quarter-finals on January 10, and if dem fit carry their current form go, e go make sense! The kings of Africa don show their strength, and everybody dey expect more from dem.
Make we no forget; AFCON dey high tension level now. With Egypt wey wan challenge dem, e go be classic match wey nobody go wan miss. The quarter-finals na where all the big names go shine!
So, my people, get ready for the next round, because na football history we dey witness here. Who sabi if Ivory Coast go take una by surprise again? We dey here dey wait for more fireworks!
