From our special correspondent in Bouaké,
That's it ! Ivory Coast no longer has a monopoly on matches with crazy scenarios and since this Wednesday, the Bouaké stadium can boast of having hosted the two craziest matches of this CAN 2024. Twists and turns, dramatic tension, suspense at the shots on goal, etc. After the incredible Ivory Coast-Mali (2-1 ap), we will remember this Nigeria-South Africa which also played with the hearts of the supporters.
