All the public present at the Alassane-Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé (60,000 seats) encountered a glum Monday where Ivory Cost, the organizing country of the 34th edition of the AFCON, was eliminated from the group stage, after its defeat against Equatorial Guinea (2-0). Quadruplet was signed by captain Emilio Nsue, Pablo Ganet and finally Jannick Buyla.
The Elephants were the favourites of this group A, though it was the Equatorial Guineans who managed to lead the way after this final day, taking the lead in the ranking thanks to a better goal disparity than the Nigerians, who positioned themselves as other favourites to succeed the tournament, a prediction that they reinforced after their triumph at the Stade Félix-Houphouët-Boigny (40,000 seats), against the Bissau-Guineans (1-0). The goal was scored through Opa Sangante (36′ – watch video).
At the end of the two matches, Equatorial Guinea ended this group stage 1st (7 pts), Nigeria 2nd (7 pts), Ivory Coast 3rd (3 pts) and Guinea-Bissau 4th (0 pts).
