Côte d'Ivoire defeated Kenya 3–0 in their FIFA World Cup qualification Group F clash, a commanding performance built on clinical finishing from a compact 4–4–2 shape. Yan Diomande and Amad Diallo each netted once for the hosts, who generated 0.8 xG and controlled the match with measured attacking play. Kenya, operating in a 4–2–3–1 formation, offered little resistance and failed to register meaningful attacking threat, leaving their goalkeeper untested throughout. The Ivorians' defensive solidity—conceding just 0.0 xG—underscored their superiority, though Kenya's inability to generate chances reflected deeper structural problems in open play. This emphatic victory strengthens Côte d'Ivoire's grip on the group standings.
