Violence broke out in Abidjan on Monday evening after the country’s football team, the Elephant of Cote d’Ivoire lost 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea, to put their chances of qualifying to the knockout stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in jeopardy.

The two-time champions now must endure a nervy wait to determine if they will advance to the last 16 as one of the four best third-placed teams.

Despite a multitude of missed opportunities for the home team, Equatorial Guinea’s Emilio Nsue opened the scoring before the break, and Pablo Ganet unleashed a brilliant free kick after it. Two minutes before the end, Nsue, capped his performance with his fifth goal of the tournament.

In a video seen by Completesports.com on social media, the body of a bus apparently forced to be abandoned as a result of the violence was riddled with holes that looked like it was pelted by stones.

The windows of the bus were also shattered.

Another video showed things being burnt in the streets of Abidjan as police could be seen converging around the area.

It was not immediately clear whether there were any injuries or fatalities following the mayhem.

Ah!

They can still do better

Africans are naturally wired to be very violent

Agony of defeat.

African mentality 🤔

Is sport not suppose to be winning or loosing ??

So why causing mayhem all d name of losing

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm, this is deep.

Na so. .

They are even lucky its not Brazilian fans or English fans. . or even Italian Ultras, the bus would have been burnt, plus the players.

This ones no get joy o.

Host nation being humiliated 4-0 at home and getting knocked out as a result is historically a bad record.

You can't win every day.

Unnecessary drama

It is what it is

To whom much is given
Much is expected

The thing dey pain person. But that shouldn't made them to become miscreants.

baba i disagree with you. It can happen anywhere in the world. Didn’t you see what Liverpool fans did to Real Madrid bus in 2022 in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 when dey arrived to play champions league.

Didn’t you see what Brazilians 🇧🇷 fans did to their own bus when dey got knocked out of World Cup

Nigeria is really a good country 🇳🇬.
We can’t do this to our super eagles no matter how woeful dey perform
We can only throw tantrums at dem on the internet but we can’t attack dem like this.

Bad losers

Agony of defeat .

I can now imagine what OBIDIENTS went through last year

Same way the Ghanaian Fans would unleash their anger on the Black Stars at Katoka Airport Accra.

E pain them

the host don't need to go home because they are home already

People are not smiling.

With all the hype of Hosting


E reach to vex ooo

LET THE LASHING BEGIN

African are awkward humans.
Thought we've gone past this primitive behaviour

Nothing like saying Africans are violent. Your European countries would do same, likewise South American countries

If na you nkor

yes, but the 4nil seems much

Fans and faithful supporters must be educated that it's not always violence that would bring about secure in any unfortunate event.

But they can't do that to their leaders that keep looting and destroying their future. football is a game. the better side win. go prepare for next one.

They must explain why
