Senegal\u2019s physical presence forced heavy battles in the paint early on. However, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire managed to weaponize their backcourt depth, chipping away at the Senegalese defense to build a hard-fought 34\u201324 lead at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the third quarter commenced, Senegal threatened a comeback behind a brief offensive surge. But C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire&#8217;s bench depth turned out to be the ultimate game changer. Led by a masterclass performance from tournament standout Nathan Djako, the tournament hosts unleashed a devastating perimeter onslaught. They blew the game wide open, turning a tense tactical battle into a 73\u201351 runaway celebration by the final buzzer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"799\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834.jpg?resize=640%2C799&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=641%2C800&amp;ssl=1 641w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=80%2C100&amp;ssl=1 80w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C959&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=1230%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1230w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=1640%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=10%2C12&amp;ssl=1 10w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?resize=1024%2C1279&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/rabsportsnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/129834-scaled.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire lifts the trophy on home soil, the journey is just beginning for both the gold and silver medalists.
