FC San-Pedro win first ever Ivorian Cup

The San Pedro-based outfit secured a 1-0 win over AFAD Djekanou to claim their first ever success in the competition

Football Club San-Pedro picked up a 1-0 victory against AFAD Djekanou at the Robert Champroux Stadium in the 56th edition of the Coupe Nationale, succeeding 21-time winners ASEC Mimosas.

After a dull opening 45 minutes, a Ruffin Gnanzou strike moments after the restart saw the San-Pedro outfit edge in front and they held on for the remainder of the game to win the domestic cup competition.

The attacking midfielder’s goal was enough to see him named man of the match as the success meant his side claimed their first ever national cup title.
