A brace from captain Didier Drogba helped Ivory Coast complete their World Cup warm-up campaign with a 3-0 win against Slovenia in Bondoufle, France on Sunday.
The Chelsea striker found the target in the 35th minute and then followed it up with a second just two minutes later.
Auxerre winger Kanga Akale made sure of victory with a third goal 20 minutes from full-time.
The win came as a major morale boost for the Elephants after they could only draw with Switzerland and Chile in their other warm-up matches.
Ivory Coast get their Group C campaign underway against Argentina in Hamburg on June 10, before taking on the Netherlands and Serbia & Montenegro.
