AFCON 2023: BLOW! Nigeria defeats Ivory Coast at home

Group A of AFCON 2023 is giving us a lot to talk about: from Guinea Equatorial's great performance in the group stage to the fall of the host Ivory Coast against the Nigerian national team, a top contender to win the championship.

In a match that ended 1-0 in favor of The Eagles, William Ekong gave his team the lead from the penalty spot after a foul on Victor Osimhen in the 55th minute.

With this result, Nigeria secures a spot in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations with six points, while the hosts are currently in third place with three points, trailing behind Guinea Equatorial, who has four points.
