Ivory Coast defeated Ghana 2-0 in an AFCON qualifier. Malick Yalcouye, a Brighton player, scored on his debut, and Franck Kessie added a second goal from a penalty.
The win comes after Ghana's disappointing AFCON qualifying campaign two years ago, where they failed to secure a single victory in six matches, scoring only three goals. This led to their failure to qualify for the AFCON for the first time in two decades.
According to MyJoyOnline Ghana, Ghana's struggles began with their first two fixtures against Angola and Niger, where they were denied victory by late goals in both matches.
