CAN féminine Maroc-2026 : L’Afrique du Sud arrache un précieux point face à la Côte d’Ivoire
Four days after their impressive 4-1 victory against Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast faced South Africa on Wednesday for the second matchday of the group stage of the Women's Africa Cup of Nations Morocco-2026. After a very lively encounter, the two teams played to a spectacular 2-2 draw.
The Ivorian women, however, started the game well. Very enterprising in attack, Grâce-Ruth Sery opened the scoring in the 18th minute, before scoring again in the 36th minute to allow the Elephants to extend their lead.
Solid and efficient in the first period, Reynald Pedros' players thus returned to the locker room with a two-goal advantage (2-0).
But after returning from the locker room, the Ivorian women gradually lost control of the match. Taking advantage of the space and their opponents' drop in intensity, the South Africans launched attack after attack. Thembi Kgatlana revived her team in the 72nd minute, reducing the deficit with a beautiful right-footed strike.
From then on, South Africa increased the pressure on the Ivory Coast goal. Their relentless pressure paid off in the dying seconds of the match. Hildah Magaia scored the equalizer in the 99th minute, securing a valuable point for his team.
With this result, Ivory Coast remains in contention for a quarter-final berth. Meanwhile, South Africa avoids early elimination and maintains its chances going into the final group stage match.
