First-half key moments

  • Goal – Nicolas Pépé (assist Yan Diomande) (Côte d'Ivoire, 7th)
  • Yellow card – Nicolas Pépé (Côte d'Ivoire, 35th)

Côte d'Ivoire have taken control

With this one-goal lead, Côte d'Ivoire head to the dressing room with a tangible advantage and a clear platform to build on. The second half could allow them to protect this scoreline, provided they do not drop too deep.

Curaçao must raise their level

For Curaçao, the return from the dressing room demands greater precision in the opposition box. The team had the ball in spells, but they must turn those strong periods into clearer chances to avoid chasing the score until the end.
