Ivory Coast defeats Ecuador 1-0 in World Cup opener
Ivory Coast opened their 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Ecuador at Philadelphia Stadium on June 14, 2026. The match was decided in the 90th minute when Amad Diallo scored a composed left‑footed finish after a precise cut‑back from defender Wilfried Singo.
The win gave the Elephants their first World Cup triumph in 12 years and placed them ahead of Germany in Group E, while Ecuador, who had a strong defensive record in qualifying, missed the chance to earn a point after striking the woodwork three times.
