Career

Early career

Aged 12, Koné began his career in a football academy in Ivory Coast. After graduating, he departed to ply his trade overseas.[1]

Yangon United

At the start of 2013, the Ivorian arrived in Myanmar to play because he viewed playing in Thailand as monotonous.[1]

Koné made his debut in the AFC Cup with Burmese side Yangon United F.C. on 26 February 2013 against Indonesian Premier League side Persibo Bojonegoro in which he started and scored all three goals for his side in the 56th, 63rd, and 92nd minutes as Yangon United won 3–0.[2][1] He then scored his fourth goal in two games in the very next match against Hong Kong First Division side Sun Hei SC in which he found the net in the 2nd minute as Yangon United won 3–1.[3][1] He then continued his form in the AFC Cup on 3 April 2013 against Maldivian side New Radiant SC in which he scored in the 17th minute to lead Yangon United to a 2–0 victory.[4] He then made it 4 for 4 when he scored yet again in Yangon United's 3–1 return loss to New Radiant on 9 April 2013.[5]

Koné then scored in his fifth consecutive match in the AFC Cup on 24 April 2013 against Persibo in which he scored a brace in the 28th and 85th minutes of the match as Yangon United defeated Persibo 7–1.[6] The Ivorian credited the success to his teammates, who set him up for scoring opportunities.[1]
