Match Report
Ivory Coast delivered a ruthless display to dismantle South Korea 4-0 in an international friendly at Stadium MK on Saturday. The Elephants were clinical from the first whistle, exposing a shaky Korean backline that had no answers all evening.
Evann Guessand opened the scoring on 35 minutes, firing home from close range after a clever ball from Martial Godo. Simon Adingra then doubled the advantage in first-half stoppage time with a composed finish, and South Korea went into the break shell-shocked.
Godo got on the scoresheet himself on 62 minutes, nodding in from a corner to make it three. Wilfried Singo completed the rout deep into added time (90+4'), slotting home on the counter to seal a dominant victory.
It is a sobering evening for South Korea as they fine-tune their World Cup preparations on home soil this summer, while Ivory Coast head back to Africa brimming with confidence after a statement performance.
