Côte d'Ivoire Earn First World Cup Win
Côte d'Ivoire vs Serbia & Montenegro
München
Previous Encounters:
Côte d'Ivoire and Serbia-Montenegro had never met before the Germany 2006 World Cup
Finals.
The Match:
Serbia & Montenegro took the lead, in the match that doesn't really matter, when
Nikola Zigic controlled a long ball through the middle and rounded Boubacar Barry; with
just ten minutes gone.
Sasa Ilic doubled the lead ten minutes later when he profited on a
mistake in the penalty area by Cyril Domoraud.
Ivory Coast were awarded a penalty when Milan Dudic handled the ball
in the area. The kick had to be taken again and Aruna Dindane scored again.
Just before half-time, Aruna Dindane was booked for diving and Albert
Nadj wouldn't be coming out for the second-half; as he received his second yellow card,
just before the whistle.
Half-time: (1:2).
After missing plenty of chances, Aruna Dindane finally equalised for
Côte d'Ivoire in the 67th minute; heading a cross into the far corner of the goal.
Four minutes from time, Bonaventure Kalou put Côte d'Ivoire in front
with the second penalty of the night; after Milan Dudic handled the ball.
