That's not a bad hit at all from Jurien Gaari. Curacao have got some great support in this stadium as well. It was always moving away from the right-hand post of Yahia Fofana.
Curacao 0-1 Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast's Yan Diomande (19 years, 223 days) is the first African teenager to assist a goal at the World Cup since 1994, when Cameroon pair Rigobert Song (17 years, 354 days) and Marc Vivien Foe (19 years, 50 days) both did so in the same match against Sweden.

Metaphorically, and actually, the clouds have cleared a bit here for Ecuador.
Curacao 0-1 Ivory Coast
Jurien Gaari is close for Curacao, shooting low and hard across goal, but just wide of the far post. A rueful slap of his hands in frustration shows he feels he should've done better.

Ecuador vs Germany. For anybody not watching - we have a game indeed

Yet again Yan Diomande was the creator for Ivory Coast’s opener from Nicolas Pepe. He came into this tournament with a lot of pressure on his shoulders as many experts pundits were picking him out as a young star to watch, plus there was all the transfer speculation but he seems to be relishing being Ivory Coast’s main danger man.

Curacao worked it well down the right-hand-side. Yahia Fofana got a strong enough hand to it and he got it away from that six-yard box.
Curacao 0-1 Ivory Coast
Curacao know they need to win this match and they get themselves into a promising position down the right wing, with Joshua Brenet firing the ball across the face of goal.
But thanks to a combination of Ivory Coast goalkeeper Yahia Fofana and some of his team-mates, they are able to clear to safety.
Ecuador 1-1 Germany
Plenty of early action in both matches and here’s what it all means for Group E standings...
While Ivory Coast have given their chances of reaching the last 32 a huge boost, Ecuador keep their hopes of progression alive with the equaliser against Germany.

Great noise inside New York New Jersey Stadium after that Ecuador equaliser from Nilson Angulo.
Brilliant response from Ecuador to Leroy Sane's strike and the huge swathes of yellow-clad fans are loving this.
Deafening chants of "Ecuador".

So Messi can stamp on the back of your leg and not even get a card. Germany can kick your player in the head, score and not even get reviewed... And people wonder why fans say the "big teams" are favoured. Glad Ecuador equalised. A little bit of justice.

It's been a really entertaining game so far.
Germany try a square ball across the box but it's intercepted and hoofed away.
Ecuador put the pressure on up the other end as Germany try to pass it around. They're well up for this now.
Curacao 0-1 Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast pushing for a second and Manchester United winger Amad Diallo is looking for the far post but there is not enough curl on his low attempt and wide it goes.

Image source, Getty ImagesI siad before the game that all Ecuador may need is one goal to have the belief. Vite wins the ball and all of a sudden it opens up for Angulo. He's not closed down well enough at all and he is able to bend it into the corner. It's fantastic strike through the legs.

What a run from Nicolas Pepe. Great anticipation, coming with pace and that's a nice tidy finish.
It had been a bit scrappy in the opening minutes of the game. You expect that on matchday one, but by the third match you feel the players will all be well grooved.
Nilson Angulo
The New Jersey Stadium erupts!
Ecuador have their first goal at the tournament and it's a beauty. Nilson Angulo strikes powerfully through the defender's legs and it nestles in the bottom corner.
Manuel Neuer was a bit slow off the mark there and perhaps he'll be disappointed.
But Ecuador are up and running at the 2026 World Cup...finally.

Ivory Coast, needing a point to qualify, take the lead.
In demand Yan Diomande gets lucky as Curacao fail to clear with the ball hitting him, but he then gets to the byline and pulls the ball back, with former Arsenal man Nicolas Pepe sweeping the ball into the net with a first-time finish from six yards out.

Crisp as you like from Leroy Sane as Germany make a lightning fast start. They have threatened from the first whistle.
Ecuador wanted a foul for a high boot on Pedro Vite. Nothing doing - and they are struggling already.

Am I missing something? That's always given as a free kick. The clearest and most obvious error I've seen at this World Cup
