🧠 Match Summary

vs

Ivory Coast secured a 2-0 victory over Curaçao in Group E at Philadelphia, with Nicolas Pépé proving the decisive figure on a landmark occasion for the Elephants at the FIFA World Cup 2026. The winger struck early in the seventh minute to settle nerves, then doubled his tally with a composed finish in the 64th minute to wrap up the points and send his side through in style.

Ivory Coast dominated possession at 63% and, despite Curaçao mustering 11 shots to their seven, Glenn Nyberg's match was largely controlled by the African side, who limited their opponents to just two shots on target. For Curaçao, making their historic World Cup debut, the scoreline was tough but the experience will prove invaluable for the island nation's growing football story.
