It was not their best performance, but the Ivory Coast national football team managed to secure three points. They will be confident coming into their next game.

Players to Watch

Amad Diallo (Ivory Coast)

Amad Diallo was the sole goal scorer for the Elephants in their 1-0 win against Mozambique. He put up a good show and will be keen to help the Ivory Coast national football team once again. The Manchester United star is going to lead the attack from the right.

He can create space and is likely to trouble the visitors.

Bryan Mbeumo (Cameroon)

From controlling the midfield well to creating issues for the opponent’s defence, Bryan Mbeumo is going to play a crucial part for the Cameroon national football team. Even though he failed to score a goal, he looked good for his side. The Manchester United player will be keen to put up another top performance here.
