The stadium in Philadelphia was full of Ecuador fans, who saw their team start well. After a slip by Emmanuel Agbadou, Enner Valencia had the opportunity, but was surprised and shot the ball over the top. Shortly afterwards, John Yeboah, coming from the right, also failed to score, shooting wide. After a couple of tries from Elye Wahi and Nicolas Pépé for Côte d'Ivoire, Alan Minda had two chances in five minutes, but both went against the post. The South Americans were unable to achieve anything and saw Ivory Coast come back with more determination after the break. First, young Yan Diomande shot over the top from distance, then Elye Wahi equaled the feat, also hitting the post that Minda had already made shake. The game looked like it would end goalless, but towards the end, a moment of magic appeared. After a play on the right, the ball reached the feet of Amad Diallo, who didn't hesitate and fired. The Manchester United striker sealed victory for Ivory Coast, who now sit second in Group E behind Germany. Next Saturday, at 10pm (Portuguese time), Germany will face Ivory Coast, while Ecuador and Curaçao will meet on the night of Saturday to Sunday, at 2am.
