Ivory Coast kicked off the FIFA Series in explosive fashion. Facing Mauritania on Thursday at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé, the hosts asserted their dominance with a commanding 8-0 victory.

The Elephants gave Mauritania no chance in this one-sided encounter.
Six goals in the first half and two more after the break—coach Reynald Pedros’ players put on a dazzling show for their home fans at Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Ebimpé.

Priscilla Krito bagged a hat-trick, while Habiba Ouédraogo shone with a brace. Bernadette Amani, Dagba Issie, and Frédérique Abrogoua also found the net in this goal-fest.
