It is Nigeria though who lead at half-time, holding a 1-0 advantage after William Troost-Ekong’s header. Up until that point, it had been Ivory Coast who looked the more likely to open the scoring, with Simon Adingra a constant threat and the Elephants winning a number of set-pieces in dangerous positions. Victor Osimhen has largely been kept quiet, but it is the Super Eagles who have the lead.
