Ivory Coast footballers began the 2026 World Cup with a 1:0 victory over Ecuador. The Group E match at the stadium in Philadelphia was decided in the 90th minute by Amad Diallo, the Manchester United winger. sport.pravda.sk ↗
The match brought numerous chances but remained goalless for a long time. Ecuador was particularly dangerous in the first half, in which it twice hit the crossbar. In total, the duel featured four shots off the woodwork. Despite Ecuador's attacking activity, goalkeeper Yahia Fofana had to make only one save during the entire match. lidovky.cz ↗
Ivory Coast gradually improved after the break and in the closing stages made use of one of the decisive opportunities. Diallo came onto the pitch as a substitute and broke through the opponent's defense in the last minute of regular playing time. After conceding the goal, Ecuador got no chance to mount a significant response. sport.sk ↗
The result also ended Ecuador's nearly two-year unbeaten streak. With the victory, Ivory Coast created a good position in the group, in which several teams are expected to battle for qualification. The upcoming matches will show whether Diallo's late strike will turn out to be just a successful start for the African team or the foundation for a more significant run in the tournament. teraz.sk ↗
