World Cup Under- 17 that takes place in the United Arab Emirates is well and truly over for Côte d’ Ivoire. The Elephants could not stand against Argentina in the quarterfinals of the competition with a score of 2-1.

The reigning African champions, far from being unworthy , conceded two goals in the first half. The first occurred early in the fifth, the work of Joaquin Ibanez. A force running after equalization, the Ivorians will concede a second goal in the 33rd minute by Rodrigo Moreira.

Despite a very good performance in the second half, the Elephants will never happen to equalize. They could just get a reduction of the score in the 78th through penalty granted to Franck KESSIE after an Argentine has touched the ball with his hand in the box.

The kings of Africa in the category thus left the competition after Morocco and Tunisia. The African continent is no longer found with only one representative, Nigeria that held in check Uruguay with a 2-0 win in the last match of the quarterfinals .
