Ivory Coast beats Gambia to remain unbeaten in Africa World Cup qualifying

NEW DELHI: Ivory Coast’s winning start to World Cup qualifying continued with a 2-0 victory over the Gambia as it was among five countries who had away success in group matches on Monday. Goals from Christian Kouame and Seko Fofana ensured success for the fancied Ivorians in Dar-es-Salaam, where Gambia hosted the game because its stadia were not deemed fit enough to host international matches.

Also victorious on the road were Equatorial Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya and Madagascar while Mali were held to a surprise home draw as Africa’s preliminaries for the 2026 World Cup finals continued. Agencies
