Ivory Coast forward Nicolas Pépé believes the Elephants can continue their momentum at the Fifa World Cup after defeating Curaçao 2-0 on Thursday to reach the knockout rounds for the first time in their history.
The Villarreal winger netted a goal in each half against Curaçao in Philadelphia to seal the historic win.
"We are delighted and proud to be the first Ivory Coast side to reach the knockout rounds. Everyone has worked hard for this and we have got our reward," Pépé said following the final whistle. "We are setting no limits. We have huge potential. Now we are into the knockout rounds, so we will see what happens."
The Ivory Coast finish in second place in Group E with six points, behind table-toppers Germany only on head-to-head records. The West African side defeated Ecuador 1-0 in their opening fixture before suffering a narrow 2-1 defeat to the Germans.
