What Is at Stake in AFCON's Ivory Coast - Gabon Game?

Ivory Coast overturned a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 and top Group F with seven points, advancing to the AFCON knockout stage.

  • Second‑half action has seen Gabon national football team defend a narrow 2-1 lead as Oumar Diakité was booked and Ivory Coast attacker Christ Inao Oulai missed a close chance.
  • Live coverage spans late night, with the fixture scheduled as a Thursday match at Stade de Marrakech, kickoff at 12:30 a.m., streamed on FanCode app and website.
