"'Elephants' fans across Abidjan erupted in celebration as the defending champions started their Africa Cup of Nations campaign on a high note, securing a 1-0 win against Mozambique on Wednesday. Footage from the Fuma Cafe Resto shows enthusiastic supporters watching the match on a large screen, some blowing horns and anxiously following every play during the first half, before erupting into cheers as the team maintained their lead. “The only thing is that they need to be more focused, and we hope that in the second half everything will go well and that we will win at least 2-0,” one fan said. “It was a good match for the Elephants. But the first half was a bit complicated; in the second half, things worked better,” said another supporter. As the final whistle blew, the atmosphere turned euphoric, with fans spilling onto the streets and dancing outside. Ivory Coast scored with Amad Diallo's goal in the 49th minute. Despite creating numerous chances in the second half, the Ivorians struggled to convert, with Wilfried Zaha and Franck Kessie missing key opportunities. Mozambique is still seeking its first victory since its debut in 1986, and now has a record of four draws and 12 losses in six appearances. The Elephants will face Cameroon on Monday, while Mozambique will play Gabon on Sunday."
