#MLICIV: #Diakite Praise Cotê d’Ivoire Fans After Remarkable Win Over #Mali—-Cotê d’Ivoire midfielder Oumar Diakite has credited home fans for their comeback win over Mali on Saturday in the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON)Côte d’Ivoire 2023.

Diakite, who scored the winning goal, admitted the game was a difficult one but they had their home fans who supported them throughout the 120 minutes.

“The supporters did what they had to do and since this tournament started, we have seen the support of Ivorians, they have been pushing.

“Today, we had a difficult time in the game including the red card, but they continued to push us and for us as players, when things begin to go like that, we only have the option to give our very best and look out for the victory and it is the reason why we were the winners,” he said.

Cotê d’Ivoire had a player sent off in the first half before going down by a goal to nil.

They however managed to come back into the game and won it at the closing stages of extra time.

Diakite added that they knew the game was going to be difficult after the red card.

“We knew it was going to be complicated, it made it difficult for us, but we were able to do what we wanted with our mentality in place.

“We ran and we made efforts and I think we were paid at the end of the day, and we all went out to get this particular victory.

“We are happy, because I scored the second goal. With this goal, I think I put happiness on the faces of about 30,000 Ivorian fans who were at the stadium.

“No words can describe how I’m feeling right now, but I’m happy,” he said.

NAN reports that Cotê d’Ivoire will now meet DR Congo in the semi-finals at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan on Wednesday.

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller

BREAKING: Bruno Fernandes Sent Off As Manchester United Held Porto In a 6-Goal Thriller—-Bruno Fernandes the talking point again in the UEFA Europa League as he’s sent off for Manchester United after been previously sent off in the Premier League last weekend against Tottenham where they were thrashed at Old Trafford by the London Club.

Bruno had his red card appealed and is available to feature for Man United next games but again received another red card for a brutal high foot foul against Porto defender as he was booked for second time in the game to get sent off.

Manchester United were 2 goals up early this night through Marcus Rashford 7th minute opener and Ramus Hojlund scores his first goal of the season after returning from injury but Porto fights back to earn a first half draw and goes ahead in the 50th minute through Samu Omorodion.

Harry Maguire rescued a dramatic draw for 10-man Manchester United after they had surrendered a two-goal lead – and had Bruno Fernandes sent off – at Porto in the Europa League.

The injury-time effort could prove priceless for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag, whose side were moments away from their fourth loss in 10 games to start the season.

Instead, substitute Maguire rose highest to meet Christian Eriksen’s corner and headed superbly into the bottom corner in the first of five added minutes.

It was a thrilling conclusion to a chaotic encounter at Estadio do Dragao.

Porto could have added to their lead with the away side, even down to 10 men, forced to throw players forward, but failed to make them count and were punished by Maguire’s late header.

Despite salvaging something from the game, United have won only three of their first 10 matches of the season and, for the fourth European away game in a row, they failed to win despite having scored three goals.
