Tears of Ivory after Humiliation for Ivory Coast. #AFCON

Tears of Ivory after Humiliation for Ivory Coast. The Africa Cup of Nations 2023 happening in Ivory Coast is nothing short of surprises and unending drama. Abidjan came to life on the 22nd of January 2024 for an Ivory Coast encounter between the hosts Ivory Coast and the underdogs Equitorial Guinea with an over expectation of fireworks from Ivorians. Everything looked under control until Equitorial Guinea took the lead. Coming back from half time trailing 1 goal to nil, Ivory Coast did everything in their power to get the equalizer. Ivory Coast seemed back in the driving seat with a disallowed goal for offside. Equatorial Guinea went 2 goals up and the world thought well there is still time it's not over yet. As Equatorial went 3 goals up a deafening silence swept through the huge stadium as thousands of fans from the host nation went from desperate hope to unbelievable pain. Visible expressions of unbelievable pain became a sorry sight for the world to see. At goal number 4 there was no hope of a comeback. At full time Equatorial Guinea went into ecstatic celebrations as they had delivered a historic win over the host nation. An unprecedented scoreline defeat in the group stages for a host nation. They had surely made history. Sweet as the history made by Equatorial Guinea was, painful it was to the colorful footballing history of Ivory Coast. An embarrassing scoreline on a day they needed the best result, at home to an underdog. Such is the level of sport particularly soccer.
