As part of the start of the 3rd day of the CAN group phase this Monday, January 22, 2024, the Ivory Coast, host country, was humiliated against Equatorial Guinea on the 4-0 score.
This 4-0 defeat is simply the biggest setback collected by the Elephants in the African Cup of Nations, on behalf of the first group.
A situation which caused the anger of the Ivorians who came en masse to support their selection. Moreover, fights between Ivorian supporters and Stadiers broke out in a turn, while supporters left the stadium before the final whistle.
For the Elephants, it is almost impossible to qualify among the top four thirds with only three points and a goal difference of -3.
