    FIFA WC: 'Not Everything Was Perfect, But Winning Without Conceding Is Important,' Says Ivory Coast's Caoch

    FIFA World Cup: Ivory Coast head coach Emerse Fae described his team's first-ever qualification for the FIFA World Cup knockouts as a historic moment for Ivorian football and admitted that there was still room for improvement.

    Nicolas Pepe scored a dynamic double as Ivory Coast secured their place in the knockout stages for the first time after previous group-stage exits in 2006, 2010 and 2014 with a comfortable victory over Curacao, whose FIFA World Cup debut ended on a disappointing note.

    "I hope everyone enjoys this qualification and celebrates it properly," Fae was quoted by Xinhua. "Then keep sending us your support and positive energy so that we can go as far as possible in this competition. Not everything was perfect, but we won 2-0 without conceding. That's important for our confidence heading into the knockout stage," he added.
