Premier League players Yaya Toure, Salomon Kalou and Emmanuel Eboue scored first half goals to lead Ivory Coast to a 3-0 home win over Rwanda in a 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifier.
Ivory Coast played Saturday's match without its Chelsea star Didier Drogba and CSKA Moscow striker Seydou Doumbia, but took the lead in the 12th minute when Manchester City midfielder Toure converted Eboue's cross from the left.
The Elephants went 2-0 up in the 21st when Siaka Tiene crossed from the left and Kalou, who plays alongside Drogba for English champion Chelsea, scored with a shot into the left corner.
Eboue, in and out of the Arsenal team in recent seasons, wrapped up the Group H win in the 39th with a shot from 25 meters (yards).
