Ivory Coast and Ecuador met in round 1 of group stage action in the 2026 World Cup, with both sides aiming to make it out of the group, but knowing that Germany are by far group favorites. In a tightly-contested matchup, it took an Amad Diallo stoppage time winner to separate the two sides, even though both sides impressed overall.
