Ivory Coast as one of the three African representatives in Tokyo 2020 have made it through Quarterfinals with Egypt. And Manchester United fans are proud as their duo Eric Bailly and Amad Diallo will continue with the knock-out stage.
A draw against Germany was enough to hand them the second spot in Group D with Brazil topping the group.
Ivory Coast are done with their group stage games, winning the first one against Saudi Arabia and drawing the next against Brazil. They faced Germany in the last game of Group D. A draw would have been enough for them to progress to the next round.
They got the same, courtesy of an own goal from Benjamin Henrichs while Eduard Lowen scored for Germany. Ivory Coast held on to the draw to claim the point they needed. They have thus eliminated Germany in the process.
Eric Bailly started as expected, while Amad came on later in the game. Ivory Coast will now face Spain in the quarter-finals. Nonetheless, United fans were relatively happy with their duo’s performance as they edge closer to a medal in the prestigious tournament.
