In the game that just ended, Ivory Coast created a miracle, they scored two goals in the second half after falling behind 0-1, and finally reversed Nigeria 2-1 in the final to win the Africa Cup of Nations.
In the group stage, Ivory Coast and Nigeria were in the same group, but the hosts Ivory Coast lost 0-1. They then suffered a 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea, leaving them third in the group. Due to the team's poor performance, Ivory Coast could not bear it anymore and fired coach Gasset.
Due to the rush of time, the Ivorian team did not have time to find a new manager, so they had to make the assistant coach an interim manager. Unexpectedly, after the Ivory Coast team finished third in the group, they were like a god, they first eliminated the defending champion Senegal, leaving the fans' glasses shattered, and then they went all the way to the final.
Against Nigeria, the Ivory Coast also had a chance to get revenge, but they were beaten early in the final. In the first half, Ekong seized a corner and eventually headed home to give Nigeria the lead.
Falling behind 1-0, Ivory Coast is in a desperate situation again, and if it is not before the change of manager, they may lose to their opponents again like in the group stage. Fortunately, the Ivory Coast team has now been reborn. In the 62nd minute of the second half, Kessie stepped up and also headed home from a corner kick to equalise for his team.
In the 81st minute, the balance on the field was broken, Alli grabbed a point in front of the goal, kicked a team-mate's cross into the door with the sole of his foot, and this wonderful goal also helped the Ivory Coast team to turn the tables 2-1, and they reversed the opponent at home to win the championship.
I have to say that this Africa Cup of Nations is indeed amazing, Egypt and Senegal, the favorites to win the championship, are out early, and the Ivory Coast team, which is not favored, has gone all the way to the end and won the third Africa Cup of Nations in team history.
In the absence of a formal manager, the Ivory Coast team performed a miracle when they won only three games in 90 minutes to win the Africa Cup of Nations, which is definitely a miracle of the Africa Cup of Nations. The last time they finished third in the group and won the tournament was Portugal in 2016, under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo, they eventually eliminated a number of strong teams to win the European Championship, and now the Ivory Coast team has replicated this miracle. After the game, the Ivory Coast team reveled, and they probably did not expect that they could win the Africa Cup of Nations. Having said that, Gasset has brought 3 matches to this Africa Cup of Nations, can he receive a championship medal?
