Cote d’Ivoire have maintained their perfect start at the U15 World Cup, winning all three of their group matches to move top of Group Y with nine points.

The Elephanteaux overcame the Turks and Caicos Islands 0-6 in Hovsan, Azerbaijan, on Sunday. Dramane Diarrassouba scored a hat-trick, Cheick Berte added two goals and Jadon Montilus completed the scoring with an own goal.

It was the third victory in three games for Gnamin Souh Kouame Matiriel’s side, who had previously defeated Vanuatu 11-0. Berte scored three times in that match, while Diarrassouba and Issa Bamba each contributed two goals.

Cote d’Ivoire began their campaign with a 5-0 victory against Rwanda in an all-African meeting. Their flawless record leaves them level on points with Albania, who have also been unbeaten, but ahead on goal difference.

The Ivorian side will play their final group matches on Monday against Mauritania and Albania.
