Diallo strikes late as Ivory Coast stun Ecuador at World Cup Manchester United's Amad Diallo struck in the 90th minute as Ivory Coast stunned Ecuador and their huge support to edge a tight affair 1-0 in their World Cup opener on Sunday. The Group E encounter had looked set to finish 0-0, hardly a surprise given Ecuador's incredible defensive record during qualifying, and that result may well have suited both teams. But the 23-year-old Diallo, who had been introduced in place of Bazoumana Toure shortly before the hour mark, had other ideas as he finished first-time from a right-wing cross right just as the game was heading for injury time. It is Ivory Coast's first win at a World Cup in exactly 12 years, since they beat Japan in Brazil in 2014, and they can now be confident of making the knockout phase at the tournament for the first time. It was a disappointing way to start for Ecuador, who had the majority of the 68,274 crowd at the packed Philadelphia stadium kitted out in yellow and backing them. They hit the bar twice in the first half, through John Yeboah and Alan Minda, while Elye Wahi struck the same crossbar for the Ivorians after half-time. Ivory Coast, African cham…

Didier Deschamps was taking charge of his penultimate match on French soil, with this the first of two warm-up matches for Les Bleus before flying out to North America. Kylian Mbappe led the line in Nantes and was looking to equal Olivier Giroud ’s all-time goalscoring record. He almost managed that inside the opening 10 minutes, but Yahia Fofana ’s outstretched arm pushed away the home skipper’s close-range effort. It looked to be only a matter of time until FIFA’s No. 1-ranked side broke the deadlock, as Adrien Rabiot ’s long-range strike flew narrowly over the target. The hosts were certainly in the mood to put on a show, with Fofana called into action to deny Michael Olise following a lovely free-flowing move. Match stats Flashscore Ivory Coast were stru…
