Late Amad strike wins it for Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast left it late but got the win they wanted. They beat Ecuador 1-0 on 15/06/2026. The game looked set for a draw. Then Amad Diallo struck in the 90th minute to settle it.
It was a hard-fought night with little between the sides. One moment of quality decided it. Amad’s goal gave Ivory Coast all three points and a perfect start.
The win put Ivory Coast second in Group E, level on points with leaders Germany. A late winner like that can lift a whole campaign. Ecuador, beaten by a single goal, will feel they deserved more.
