The side managed by Hossam Hassan started the match in the best way possible, capitalizing on a defensive error by Odilon Kossounou that allowed Omar Marmoush to net the opening goal just three minutes into the game.

After the early blow, Ivory Coast struggled to find their rhythm. Just as it seemed they were nearing an equalizer, Salah delivered a brilliant cross for Ramy Rabia to score the second goal of the match. However, the Elephants managed to pull one back minutes later via an Ahmed Fatouh own goal, heading into the break with their hopes alive.

In the second half, the Pharaohs extended their lead early on with a goal from Salah in the 52nd minute, nearly putting the game away. Yet, Ivory Coast refused to surrender and cut the deficit again in the 73rd minute through Guela Doue, sparking an electric finish at Adrar Stadium.

The Elephants pushed for the equalizer until the final minute, but El Shenawy put on a stellar performance to preserve the lead, securing the victory for his team. Egypt will now play for a spot in the final on Wednesday, January 14, when they face Sadio Mane’s Senegal.

Egypt reach this stage in great form after qualifying first in their group and remaining undefeated so far. In the Round of 16, they defeated Benin 3-1, who managed to take the match into extra time but could not hold the draw to reach a penalty shootout.

On the Ivory Coast side, the Elephants also arrive at this stage undefeated, having finished as group leaders alongside Cameroon. In their last match, they easily crushed Burkina Faso 3-0 to continue their path toward defending the title they won in the previous edition.

What happens if Egypt win vs Ivory Coast?

If Egypt manage to defeat Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals, the team led by Mohamed Salah will advance to the semifinals, where they will face Senegal on January 14.

What happens if Egypt and Ivory Coast tie?

If the score is level after 90 minutes, the match will proceed to two 15-minute halves of extra time. Should the deadlock remain after this period, a penalty shootout will be used to decide which nation advances to the semifinals.

What happens if Egypt lose vs Ivory Coast?

If Ivory Coast manage to defeat Egypt at Adrar Stadium, the Elephants will advance to face Senegal in the semifinals, keeping their hopes alive of defending the title they won in 2023.

While the final standings for Group F are still being decided, Ivory Coast effectively have one foot in the next round. The Elephants currently sit atop of the standings with 4 points, meaning a single point today would guarantee their progression. Even with a loss, the reigning champions would likely advance as one of the four best third-placed teams in the tournament.

In contrast, Gabon face a much steeper climb. Led by star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Panthers have failed to record a point in their first two matches. Their only path to the Round of 16 requires a victory today, combined with a favorable result in the simultaneous matchup between Cameroon and Mozambique.

As the group stage draws to a close, the race for the best third-place slots remains tight. Currently, Tanzania, Benin, Sudan, and Mozambique are the frontrunners for those final four tickets to the elimination rounds, but with one matchday left, the landscape of the tournament could change dramatically by the final whistle.

What happens if Ivory Coast win vs Gabon?

If Ivory Coast defeat Gabon in the final group stage match, the team led by Emerse Fae will automatically secure its place in the knockout rounds. The result of the match will determine its path forward in the tournament bracket.

Should the Elephants finish as the runner-up in Group F, they are slated for a high-stakes meeting with South Africa in the next round. However, if they clinch the top spot in the group, they will instead face the second-place team from Group E, which is expected to be either Burkina Faso or Sudan.

What happens if Ivory Coast and Gabon tie?

Should today’s match end in a draw, Ivory Coast would officially secure their passage to the Round of 16. With 5 total points, the defending champions would be guaranteed a top-two finish in Group F, regardless of the outcome between Cameroon and Mozambique.

What happens if Ivory Coast lose vs Gabon?

A victory for Gabon tonight is the only way Aubameyang and his squad can keep their slim hopes of a knockout stage berth alive. However, their fate is not in their own hands; a win or even a draw for Mozambique against Cameroon would officially eliminate Gabon from the tournament, regardless of their own result.

Ivory Coast enter the match with significantly less pressure, as they have already guaranteed their place in the Round of 16. However, a loss could still sting, as it might drop them to third place in the group standings. This would only happen if Mozambique defeat Cameroon and the Indomitable Lions maintain a superior goal difference over the Ivorians.

Cameroon responded with character and resilience, finding the equalizer through Junior Tchamadeu after sustained pressure in the second half. Both national teams created chances, hit the post, and pushed for a winner, but defensive adjustments and missed opportunities kept the score level.

The result leaves Group F wide open, with Ivory Coast and Cameroon each taking a point from one of the most anticipated clashes of the group stage. With qualification still on the line, both sides will look to build on this performance as AFCON 2025 continues.

Algeria have taken advantage of being the home team so far. They shared group A with Mozambique, Libya, and Ethiopia, but didn’t have much trouble to advance in the championship. Their results weren’t very dominant, though they won their three games 1-0. Their journey includes being undefeated along with not having conceded one goal in any of them.

The path for Ivory Coast wasn’t as smooth as the one of their opponents. They were in group B with Senegal, Uganda, and D.R. Congo, where the best two teams were moving on to the next round. Their case has one 3-1 win over Uganda in the last game meaning they get here with a boost after finishing behind the Senegalese. Apart from it they lost vs Senegal and tied with D.R. Congo.

The Congolese team debuted in this group stage with a tie that is of little use. In such a difficult group, they were playing against Uganda, the weakest of the three rivals they have to face, and they were not able to win. Now they need a good result before the difficult duel against Senegal.

The Ivory Coast, a team that, like its opponents in this match, came very close to qualifying for Qatar 2022, did not start this African Nations Championship in the best way: it was a 1-0 defeat against Senegal. Of course, they still have chances to fight for a place in the next phase, but for that they need a good result against the Congolese.

The locals are looking to adjust their team for what will be the next World Cup in Qatar, of which they are one of the main favorites to win it. In the Qualifiers, despite sharing a group with two weak rivals like San Marino and Andorra, the rest of the group were teams that could present difficulties. Even so, they showed a lot of solidity, winning 8 games and drawing only 2.

In the case of Ivory Coast, despite being a power on the African continent, they shared a group with another difficult rival like Cameroon, who finally advanced to the final phase of the African Qualifiers. Of course, they want to start a process that will allow them to return to a World Cup in the next Qualifiers, and that is why this game against a strong rival will serve as a great preparation.
