00:00The last win was against Somalia. The one before that was against fellow southern African side Botswana.
00:11Do it.
00:15Floating one into the box. It could fall here and a great chance and it's the opener.
00:21Ahmad gets the defending champions up and running.
00:30That's it. It's third for his country. It's a breakthrough they've been waiting for.
00:39And a roar erupts around the Grand Stade, the Marrakech.
00:45Well worked and just defensively letting themselves down there.
00:50Mozambique not competing for the second ball. What can we say about this?
00:54Great ball from Will inside the ball to Frankenstein. It's always in the box.
00:59Flick the ball back. The defenders were watching.
01:01Ahmed beautifully used his right foot.
01:08Beautifully done.
01:11That's a great ball to find Ahmad. He's going by your way then.
01:15Ahmad!
01:19What a goal!
01:20Two and two for Ahmad Diallo!
01:29Taman, you freak!
01:37What a beautifully constructed and beautifully finished goal
01:41goal by the defending champions!
01:55Goal for Nodibar team!
01:57Scoring by number Putin Ahmad!
02:02It's been excellent actually that Gabon defense have been on point this evening.
02:13That's a great pass, the chance here for Zaha to pull one back!
02:22Beautifully worked goal!
02:23And Jean-Philippe Casso gets his first of the tournament!
02:40And that's a great pass, beautiful football.
02:47Krasso involved in the crafting and finishes it off.
02:53I mean, he went...
03:01In it comes, and there it is!
03:03And there it is!
03:05A free header!
03:07Oh, Gabon have defended so well in this game!
03:11But on that moment, they let themselves down!
03:14And they've been potties!
03:16Yesand!
03:19Registers!
03:21His first of the tournament!
03:25Evan Yesand!
03:27His third international goal for Cotibois!
03:30And that brings...
03:32The Gabon players are looking a little tired, I must say.
03:36Especially those defenders, they've had to work hard in this game.
03:40And as you were saying, Badu, the gas tank seems empty.
03:44Sanciana!
03:53It's the teenager!
03:58Basumana Toure!
04:00In his second appearance for his country!
04:05His first at the Nations Cup!
04:09And he gets the all-important winner!
04:15Whoa! What a comeback!
04:20The comeback is complete!
04:22The defending champions!
04:24With a statement victory here, Badu!
04:27Obviously, a world is ever...
04:29And it threw it through to...
04:31Kessier again!
04:33Danger not gone yet!
04:34Ahmad!
04:36He's done it again!
04:38It's turning out to be the...
04:40Amadziyano show!
04:43And I've gone 2025!
04:45The Burkina players are complaining about something!
04:57No doubt!
04:59VAR will have a look!
05:04But for now, the defending champions celebrate!
05:08There is indeed a VAR check going on!
05:17What did you pick out that could have been wrong with that goal, Badu?
05:21So, I think they are complaining that...
05:24Playing it with Diakiti...
05:26Ahmad, do it to...
05:30On the overlap!
05:31Ahmad goes on his own!
05:33Kessier lets it run!
05:35Two-man!
05:36Finally gets on the score sheet!
05:40With a bit of half of a deflection!
05:43It's two!
05:46I mean...
05:48Just... just watch and see what Frank Kessier did...
05:50Frank Kessier was very instrumental when he came to this goal!
06:00He allowed the ball beautifully...
06:02Goes straight to Diakiti...
06:04And he beautifully damaged the goalkeeper!
06:08It was Yann Diakiti's shot!
06:10Let's see how big a deflection it took!
06:14Let's take a look!
06:17Great run from Ahmad!
06:18No deflection at all!
06:21Just bent it beautifully!
06:25Oh, it's a wonderful strike!
06:26Wonderful work goal!
06:28And Yann Diakit!
06:31See what Bikini Faso can do!
06:33Can they set up a bit of a grandstand finish here?
06:36If they can get a goal!
06:38They're in trouble now!
06:39They've got some defending to do!
06:41Basu Manaturi!
06:43Still going Basu Manaturi!
06:48Oh, beautiful!
06:53Two goals in two matches for Basu Manaturi!
07:00Oh, that is exquisite!
07:02And that is just a cherry on top!
07:10Caps of an absolutely stunning display by the defending champions!
07:15I mean, what can you say?
07:22Like I already said, one quality out, another quality in!
07:26They were having some beautiful football and a counter-attack!
07:29Listen, he has pace, he's very tricky!
07:32And it's one against four!
07:34The defender, Tabsoba cannot come!
07:36And he was trying to delay!
07:37But the player was intelligent to put the ball on the first four of the goalkeeper!
07:42Absolutely beauty!
07:43Keeper didn't expect the shot there!
07:45Runs away from Blatituri!
07:47Couldn't keep up with a run!
07:48After Cup of Nations, Diomande, front post!
07:52Flick!
07:53It's it!
07:54They've got their goal!
07:55They've got their goal!
07:57A flick that went right through the traffic!
08:01Diallo, Amatiallo and co, all celebrate at a vital moment in this game!
08:09It was the perfect corner from Diomande!
08:13But just look at the movement on the edge of the six yard box!
08:16Lovely flick!
08:17Came off, I think it was...
08:20Is it?
08:21The defender?
08:22I think it's extracting any kind of nuisances out of the equation in the penalty box!
08:30Here we go!
08:32Amatiallo, there it is, far post, the tab with Anna!
08:36Is it going to be lined?
08:37And another goal for the Côte d'Ivoire, that is remarkable.
08:46The set piece works, a treat, bar post, El Cheno, we beat it.
08:53And Guadalupe scores his second goal here for the Côte d'Ivoire, 3-2.
09:04And a game-changing moment, and a very important moment.
09:15His first goal for his country.
