Franck Kessié is a pillar of the Ivory Coast midfield. The 27-year-old midfielder has been on alternating current since the start of the competition.
The Elephants plunged mentally, suffered two defeats and came close to elimination from the group stages until the last minute. The midfielder started the match against Guinea-Bissau on the bench. But as soon as he came into play in the 73rd minute, he showed composure by equalizing at the end of the match from the penalty spot then scoring the shot to the winning goal.
