DR Congo vs Tunisia FIBA World Cup African Qualifiers match will be held on August 28 at Salle Mohamed Mzali. The third meeting in history for the FIBA Basketball World Cup Africa Qualifier between Côte d’Ivoire and Nigeria proved to be worthy on all counts, with both teams demonstrating their determination to win. However, the winning spirit was stronger for the Ivory Coast Elephants, who had to rout their home crowd endlessly and did not disappoint in scoring her 78–66 victory over Nigeria. A win over Nigeria means Ivory Coast has so far qualified. Although Ivory Coast took control from the first quarter of the game, the game remained a Pindon affair as Nigeria fought back with a three-pointer shot from her Chimezie Metu.
With a 46:46 draw and 4:39 remaining in the third quarter, Ivory Coast entered the final quarter with her 60:52 lead. Suleiman Diabate was undoubtedly a turning point for Ivory Coast as he passed on his experience to his teammates. He dribbled all over the backcourt and frontcourt, and his impact was huge as he got Nigeria fouled and scored 10 points in the game. The 35-year-old was on his pitch 25:44 and his impact was felt in the energy he brought to the team. In the highly anticipated match, Ivory Coast turned out to be the more aggressive side, trailing Nigeria to victory. In shooting, Côte d’Ivoire had 31 in O66 and Nigeria had 21 in 65, while in rebounding, Ivory Coast went 43 to 39 for Nigeria. Nigeria has scored 21 turnovers against his 19 for the home team and recorded 13-11 steals against Nigeria. Ivory Coast has seven wins in the 2023 World Cup qualifiers. In fact, they’ve won their last 12 matches in the qualifying and are on track for the next two matches in this period.
