hit the crossbar
-Libya play drawn back luring
for their fast counter attacks
-('8) Libya: first shot
wide

-('11) Côte d'Ivoire
#15 free kick 1 meter across the bar
-('14) Libyan free kick
into the wall, the insuing attack sees a dangerous cross defended and the
loose ball fired across the goal
-('15) fast Libyan counter:
2 shots fired by #9 and saved in fine manor by the Ivorian keeper
-the Libyans look very
good andd dangerous with their fast through balls into attack, they win
more and more balls in midfield now
-('22) Côte d'Ivoire:
a through ball ssends a player breaking through on the right hand side.
He has beaten his defender and sets up #12 Keita perfectly by a low cross.
He has no problems to score - 0:1

a penalty but it looked like a 90% dive and the referee says no
-('29) Ivorians answer with
a very fast counter attack with the eventual shot from close range across
the bar

by the West Africans: Bakayoko shoots, the keeper can only deflect and
# 18 pushes the free rolling ball across the line - 0:2
-the Libyan fans react
with anger but it seems the match can go on anyway
-the Libyans cheer the
Ivorians and boo their own team. They have not deserved this.
-('45) Libyans slowly awake
from their shock and put some pressure on the Ivorian goal
-('injury time) Ivorians
in scoring position arre called back for offside
halftime 0:2
The Libyan plan looked very
good for some time but they were beaten by the individual qualities of
the Ivorian attack, superior to the Libyan defenders, capitalising fast
2nd half:
-both sides with rather
uninspired passing game now. Players run far too long with ball.
-('65) Libyans wake up the
stadium when #9 is sent through but his shot is saved well
-('65) on the reverse Keita
is all free in front of the Libyan keeper 14 meters to the goal but he
fires across the bar
-('68) Côte d'Ivoire
play out a cpunter situationvery patiently until they have #18 free who
curves around the keeper and scores. Looked like a demonstration session
of professionals against a youth team. Great goal - 0:3
-again noise, fireworks
and anger among the crowd
-(70) Bakayoko (#10) wide
-('72) Keita tries to volley
but does not hit the ball properly, otherwise it might have been another.
-Libyans are clearly
demotivated, Ivorians want to show some magic
-('76) Bakayoko with another
good opportunity wide
-('77) Libya: #9 with another
chance, but his shot is too weak to beat the good Ivorian keeper
-('82) the Ivorian keeper
gets replaced. He seems to be injured.
-('86) penalty for Libya:
the new (young?) Ivorian keeper saves against #18
-('90) Libya: longe range
shot no problem for the Ivorian keeper
-('injury time) good situation
for Libya but the Ivorian keeper steals the ball from #9's foot
final score 0:3
