Kalou's late goal wins it for Ivory Coast

An 84th minute goal by Salomon Kalou was all Ivory Coast needed to beat stubborn home based Nigeria's Super Eagles 1-0 in Abu Dhabi.

Kano Pillars Rabiu Ali made the mistake that gave the ball away to Tiote who made a good run into the box and sent a pass that was well connected by unmarked Kalou.

Nigeria next plays Sudan on Saturday, January 17 in Abu Dhabi.
