Fofana, who stars for Al-Nassr FC in the Saudi Arabia Pro League, scored the first goal of AFCON 2023 just the four minute into the opening game.

He was denied a brace after hitting the woodwork in the 35th minute.

Krasso then doubled the lead for Elephants 13 minutes into the second half, sending the stadium into a frenzy and joyous mood.

Ivory Coast leads the Group A table with three points pending the outcome of the second game in the group between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.
