Ivory Coast sends 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt warning after coming from a goal down to beat the Zambia 4-1 on Thursday evening.
The Copper Bullets started strong and scored within 15 minutes with Fashion Sakala dispatching off a penalty after Patson Daka was brought down in the box but Aston Villa forward Jonathan Kodja levelled matters in the 29th minute with a fine finish before Jean-Michael Seri scored in Abu Dhabi to give the Ivorians a 2-1 half-time lead.
Lyon winger Maxwell Cornet increased the lead on 57 minutes and a late goal from free agent Wilfried Bony completed an emphatic victory for the two-time African champions.
Ivory Coast had defeated Comoros and lost to Uganda in their other warm-up matches for the tournament, while it was the third outing for Zambia against qualifiers for the African competition — they lost narrowly to defending champions Cameroon and defeated Morocco before facing the Ivorians.
