Sébastien Haller’s goal in the second half gave the Ivorian Elephants the advantage.
At the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2023 in the Olympic Stadium of Ebimpé in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, on Wednesday, February 7, Côte d’Ivoire defeated DR Congo 1-0 and advanced to play for a continental crown.
Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the semi-final gives them an opportunity to win their first championship since they triumphed against Ghana in the final in 2015. 1992 was the squad’s only previous AFCON victory.
It was a close first session of play on Wednesday.

However, there were several opportunities for both teams in the goalless half, including two late opportunities for the home team in the 40th and third minutes, respectively, when Franck Kessie struck the goal post and Sébastien Haller’s attempt on goal went wide from a cross from Wilfried Singo.
As the second half got going, it seemed as though the Ivorian Elephants were riding high on their late first-half momentum.
Haller would not be denied once again as the half came to an end, scoring in the 65th minute. With a 1-0 advantage, Côte d’Ivoire would hold on to win the match.
They have advanced to the championship match, which is set for Sunday, February 11, when they will play Nigeria, after defeating DR Congo. Earlier in the competition, the two teams faced off in group play, with Nigeria emerging victorious in a close game 1-0.
