Ivory Coast secured a place in the African Cup of Nations quarter-finals after beating Burkina Faso 2-0 on Thursday.
Salomon Kalou opened the scoring in the 16th minute and Bakary Kone headed in an own goal in the 82nd to hand victory to the pre-tournament favourites despite another unconvincing performance from its English Premier League-based stars.
‘It was an incredible injustice that we lost this match,’ said Burkina Faso coach Paulo Duarte, who refused to talk about his future. ‘Burkina Faso played a great match, had a great attitude, but they scored two goals. Football is like that. What more can I say?’
