Wilfried Zaha bags in Ivory Coast's 4-1 storm

Wilfried Zaha scored last night in Ivory Coast's 4-1 storm over Namibia.

The Palace winger bagged as Les Éléphants earned their second win of AFCON 2019, having defeated South Africa and lost to Morocco earlier in the competition.

Starting the game, Zaha netted his country's third goal of the clash with a fierce 84th-minute shot from the edge of the box. His opening goal of the tournament nullified any hopes of a Namibian comeback as Joslin Kamatuka struck the back of the net to make the score 2-1. However, with Zaha's goal coming as Ivory Coast's third, Maxwel Cornet then ensured the result was dead and buried when he bagged in the 89th minute.
