A second successive 2025 Africa Cup of Nations AFCON qualifier win will be Ivory Coasts target when they face hosts Chad at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Yaounde, Cameroon, on the evening of Tuesday 10 September.
Ivory Coast opened their campaign with a hard-earned 2-0 win over Zambia in Bouake on Friday night. The Elephants were held goalless for over 70 minutes, before substitute Jean-Philippe Krasso scored a brace of goals to see them to victory.
Yes, I got restless on the bench, but that doesnt mean I wasnt happy with my team, said coach Emerse Fae.
On the contrary, I was satisfied, because we applied what we had worked on during the week.
We knew that this Zambian team was going to play in a low block and that we were going to have possession of the ball.
