Cote d’Ivoire thrash Burkina Faso to make a perfect WAFCON 2026 return

Konan grabbed her second goal of the evening in the 23rd minute, this time finishing off a well-worked move created by Nsira Ouedraogo, giving Côte d’Ivoire a commanding 3-0 lead before halftime.

Just 10 minutes later, Nsira Ouedraogo capped an outstanding individual performance by scoring Côte d’Ivoire’s fourth goal, restoring the three-goal advantage and effectively sealing all three points.

Côte d’Ivoire's emphatic victory, coupled with Tanzania's surprise win over South Africa earlier in the day, has transformed the outlook of Group B.
