Ivory Coast are eliminated from the World Cup after a 2-1 defeat to Norway, and their coach, Emerse Fae, attributes the loss to a lack of “maturity” in managing the game. Fae says the team gave its best effort but failed to control key moments, particularly in how they handled the closing stages of the match. He adds that Ivory Coast are among the tournament’s younger sides and that their relative inexperience affected their ability to see the match out and push it to extra time. According to the reports, the defeat comes on Tuesday in a last-gasp result, with Norway overcoming Ivory Coast late in the game. Fae’s comments focus on what he sees as lessons the team must take forward, despite their overall commitment and performance. The sources consistently describe the same match outcome and the same core explanation from the coach: that Ivory Coast fell short in game management rather than effort.
