Ivory Coast head coach, Émerse Fae, has explained why his team lost 3–2 to Egypt in the AFCON quarter-final match played in Morocco.
Egypt secured the win with goals from Mohamed Salah, Omar Marmoush, and Ramy Rabia. Ivory Coast responded through Guéla Doué, while Ahmed Fatouh scored an own goal that benefited the defending champions.
Speaking after the match, Coach Fae admitted that his team made too many mistakes, especially at crucial moments.
“We are disappointed with the result,” he said. “We made too many errors in key areas, and that made it difficult to win the game.”
He added that conceding early goals affected his team’s confidence and rhythm.
“What hurts the most are the mistakes. We started slowly, and I regret conceding the first and second goals so early,” Fae explained.
