Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey was the hero of the day, netting two headers, both assisted by Jordan Ayew.

Ivory Coast leads Group F with 7 points, followed by Gabon with 6 points.

In another game, Tunisia defeated 10-man Malawi 2-0, with late goals from Seifeddine Jaziri (86th minute) and Elias Achouri (90+1 minute, penalty).
