Angry Ivorian fans stoned their players with bottles and vandalized several buses following the host nation’s humiliating 4-0 defeat to Equatorial Guinea at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

In one viral video, the angry fans were seen insulting the players and hurling bottles at them as they exit the football pitch into the tunnel. Another video showed the wind screen of the team buses outside the stadium having been smashed by vandals.

Long before Equatorial Guinea shocked Ivory Coast in the Africa Cup of Nations, the competition had already earned the moniker “AFCON of Shocks,” but nothing had ever quite measured up to this.

We’d seen Tunisia defeated by Namibia, Ghana seen off by Cape Verde, and Egypt held by lowly Mozambique, but the hosts’ 4-0 drubbing was a different level, and a case could be made that it’s the biggest shock in the history of the Nations Cup.

Didier Drogba, watching on from the executive seats, wearing an Ivorian kit, grimaced as he witnessed his successors stutter. They aren’t out of the tournament just yet, but their chances are slim, and have to wait for Wednesday’s games to see what the results are.

“We have to get back to work, to ask the right questions and make the right decisions,” the Ivorian great told La Nouvelle Chaine Ivorienne after the match.

“A nation like Ivory Coast cannot organise a competition and be eliminated as early as they have today. There’s a real problem here.”
