Afcon 2019: Ivory Coast will be stronger next time – Gbohouo

Ivory Coast goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo believes the current side will play even better at the next Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), slated to be held in Cameroon in 2021.

The Elephants were defeated by Algeria 4-3 on penalties after playing out to a 1-1 draw following 120 minutes of football.

Sofiane Feghouli sent the North Africans in front after 20 minutes, but a strong second-half response by the Ivorians resulted in Jonathan Kodjia levelling the game right after the hour, and it stood that way until the end of extra-time.
