It was good to see Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo embracing and swapping shirts after Ivory Coast's draw with Cameroon in their Africa Cup of Nations group game on Sunday.
The Manchester United pair clearly get on, which has to be a positive.
The draw means both countries will advance to the last 16, at the very worst as a best third-place team. They have four points from two games, with the same goal difference.
It looks like the group winner will play South Africa in the last 16, with the runner-up getting Burkina Faso or Sudan, although the situation could change with the final round of fixtures starting today.
Amad in particular is doing his reputation no harm, scoring another excellent goal to put Ivory Coast in front.
United's other Afcon representative is Noussair Mazraoui. Morocco are at the top of Group A, also with four points from their two games. They will play a third place team in the last 16 if they retain top spot against Zambia later on Monday.
