Thanks to Habib Diallo, Senegal took the lead in their round of 16 but Ivory Coast is far from having said its last word. Follow the meeting live on the website linternaute.com.
22:59 – Head to overtime (1-1)
To endure without taking shelter, Senegal, which had been launched by Habib Diallo, ended up being caught at the very end of the match on a penalty transformed by Kessié. The reigning champions are therefore forced to play uncertain extensions where they will have to find a second wind to move forward. For their part, the Elephants were rewarded for their efforts and their intentions.
22:57 – Too long
Mané fights to win the ball in the area and cuts back to Gueye whose shot is deflected for a corner. The latter is hit too long by Jackson.
22:56 – Ndicka nods
From the halfway line, Koulibaly extends towards Jackson but his opening is well read by Ndicka who comes to put his head to ward off the danger.
22:54 – Pépé harvest
At 30 meters in the center, Pépé executes his free kick poorly. His ball is too tight and strong to be cut by a partner. Goal outing for Senegal.
22:53 – Additional time: 7 minutes
There will be seven minutes of added time in this round of 16 between Senegal and Ivory Coast. Will one of the two teams manage to make the difference to reach the next round?
22:51 – Yellow card for Seri
On the left side, Jackson plays the touchline quickly for Mané who offers a call. Seri intervenes by shoving the Senegalese. An anti-playing gesture which earned him a yellow card in the 89th minute.
22:50 – Good outing from Mendy
On a reversal of play, Pépé takes the ball with a pigeon’s wing and escapes the vigilance of Jakobs. It takes a good exit from Mendy who dives into the Ivorian’s feet to grab the ball.
22:48 – Kessié equalizes (1-1)
In the 80th minute, Kessié takes responsibility and opens his right foot to send the ball to the right. Mendy waits until the last moment but does not push his legs enough to prevent the ball from landing in his net. Ivory Coast returns in this round of 16 where everything is restarted.
22:46 – Penalty for Ivory Coast!
The referee will consult the images and notice without doubt that Mendy has indeed mowed down Pépé in the area without touching the ball. With a growl, he indicates the penalty point and offers a penalty to the Elephants. The Senegalese doorman is warned.
22:43 – Floating in Yamoussokro!
40 meters on the left, Haller opens in the middle for Kouamé who cannot control. The ball flies into the area where Pépé rushes at full speed. The latter hooks towards the inside and is mowed down by Mendy. Penalty? No, the referee gives a yellow to Kouamé who contests. Stupor in the stadium before the video assistance intervenes. The central referee will review the images.
22:42 – Mané on the cover
Discreet since his big mistake at the start of the match, Mané turns into a luxury defender. On a through ball, the Senegalese star is there to put himself between the ball and Aurier. He gets the blame from the Ivorian captain, who pushed him behind his back.
22:38 – Mendy still decisive
Put into orbit by a splendid cross from Ndicka, Pépé presents himself alone against Mendy but loses his duel against the former Chelsea goalkeeper, author of a beautiful flight on the curling shot of the Ivorian.
22:34 – Double opportunity for Kessié!
Ivory Coast believed it could equalize. Barely coming into play, Kessié gets a double opportunity. The free kick, eccentric to the right, is straightened at the far post by Adingra. The former FC Barcelona player sends a free header which Mendy pushes back on his line. The ball returns to the Ivorian midfielder who at point blank range stumbles against the Senegalese goalkeeper again.
22:34 – Double Ivorian change
In the 72nd minute, Faé continued to regenerate his team with the entries of Haller and Kessié, in place of Krasso and Sangaré.
22:33 – Yellow card for Camara
On the right side, Aurier protects his ball with his back to the game and is pushed around by Camara, who in passing puts a sole on his heel. The Senegalese community has been warned.
22:32 – Camara next door
Essential for his harassing activity in the middle, Lamine Camara also stands out in front of goal. Taking advantage of a little space in front of him, he fired a low shot from 25 meters away. It’s too crossed and it passes to the left of the goal of Yahia Fofana who had accompanied the trajectory by diving.
22:30 – Mendy in the air
Seri gets rid of Jackson’s pressure and sends a perfect stinging ball behind the Senegalese defense. Aurier takes the ball with his chest but pushes it a little too much. This allowed Mendy to win in the air before being hit by Seko Fofana, who was late and made the mistake.
22:29 – Habib Diallo leaves
Senegalese striker Habib Diallo leaves the pitch in the 66th minute. He is replaced by Jackson.
22:28 – The frame escapes
After two Ivorian recovery errors, Diallo tries his luck from 20 meters but is countered by a partner unintentionally on the trajectory. The ball returns to Mané who manages to pass to the left for Jakobs. The latter refocuses but does not wrap his right shot enough. It misses the point.
22:26 – Double change for Ivory Coast
In the 64th minute, Emerse Faé made his first choices with the exits of Gradel and Diakité. He sends two other offensive players onto the field: Adingra and Pépé.
22:23 – Too fast ahead
Well offset by Koulibaly, Diatta seeks verticality with Ismaïla Sarr but his pass is behind the back of his compatriot who does not manage to take it with a pigeon wing. Ball quickly lost by Senegal.
22:22 – Camara close to finding Mané
Camara intercepts an Ivorian transmission on the left and immediately wants to send Mané behind. His pass is well read by Seri who then resists his pressing.
22:21 – Yellow card for Habib Diallo
In an aerial duel, Habib Diallo extends his arms and puts his left hand in Ndicka’s face. The Senegalese striker is warned for this gesture.
22:19 – No penalty for Senegal
After long minutes, the video assistance considers that the real contact between Kossounou and Ismaïla Sarr is not pronounced enough to call a penalty. The game will resume. We are in the 57th minute.
22:17 – Penalty for Senegal?
On the counter, Ismaïla Sarr shows her speed and accelerates to go all the way up the field. He takes the advantage over Kossounou and enters the area from the right angle where he collapses, possibly being hooked by the Ivorian defender. The referee asks that the images be consulted to determine if there is a penalty.
