Nigeria and Ivory Coast face off this Sunday, February 11 in the final of the 34th edition of the CAN.
Nigeria reached the final of the CAN 2023 with serenity and a certain defensive solidity. Despite everything, the Super Eagles scared themselves in the semi-final with a success on penalties against South Africa (1-1, 4 tab to 2). In addition to this good run, the Nigerians have already beaten the Ivorians in this CAN 2023 during the group stage of the competition (1-0) and this gives them a psychological advantage.
On the other hand, the host country experienced a very different journey because it was fraught with pitfalls. Indeed, Ivory Coast finished third in the group stage and came very close to elimination. After miraculously passing the first round, the Ivorians then pushed the limits by coming back each time in the final moments against Senegal then Mali before beating these two teams on penalties. In the semi-final, Emerse Faé players were calmer against the Democratic Republic of Congo (1-0).
