Pepe Brace Sends Ivory Coast Into World Cup History
Nicolas Pepe was the hero again on Thursday.
The forward scored twice as Ivory Coast beat Curacao 2-0, sealing the Elephants’ first-ever World Cup knockout-stage berth. Emerse Fae’s men finished second in Group E and now await France or Norway in the last 32, GOAL reports. Curacao bow out, but leave with their heads held high after a memorable World Cup debut.
