"The group stages of Afcon 2025 come to a close tonight, with top spot in Group F still up for grabs. Cote d'Ivoire are looking to hold off Cameroon to join the other big names finishing first in their group: Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal and Algeria. In order to do that, the Elephants need to match or better Cameroon's result against Mozambique in tonight's game."
"It helps that Gabon are already out, although pride is at stake after that unexpected 3-2 defeat to the group outsiders on Sunday. As for Mozambique, they are already guaranteed at least a last-16 place as one of the four best third-placed sides, but could still claim top spot with a win tonight which would certainly shake up the knockout bracket. Kick-off: 7pm (GMT)."
