Ivory Coast eliminated despite Bailly goal

The Manchester United defender was heavily involved as Spain, with a side containing a number of their stars from Euro 2020, somehow recovered from conceded an injury-time goal that would have taken the African nation through to the last four.

Spain proved just too powerful in extra-time, with Rafa Mir completing a hat-trick, and kept their medal hopes alive, while the Reds pair will soon be returning to Carrington to prepare for the 2021/22 season.

Bailly opened the scoring in the 10th minute when forcing home a cross by Max Gradel to stun Spain. However, the response took only 20 minutes as Dani Olmo fired past Eliezer Ira in the Elephants' goal.
