Yamal and Nico Williams also live in the Ivory Coast, wear the orange of the Elephants and dream of giving their country the second African Cup of Nations in a row: Amad Diallo and Yan Diomande were the leaders of the Ivorians in the 3-0 against Burkina Faso. A goal each from the wingers, before the final jewel from another baby like Bazoumana Tourè. The Elephants advance (albeit with the bad news of the knockout of Atalanta’s Kossounou in the final) and give themselves the chance to play against Egypt, scheduled for Saturday in Agadir. The quarter-final draw is complete: Algeria wins 1-0 with a goal in the 119th minute against the Democratic Republic of Congo and will challenge Nigeria in Marrakech on 10 January. The other matches will be Morocco-Cameroon and Mali-Senegal.
