    Ivory Coast 10 Ecuador

    For eighty-nine minutes this threatened to be the one that got away, and then it wasn't. Amad Diallo struck in the ninetieth, Wilfried Singo supplying, to settle a match Ivory Coast had edged on chances without ever putting away. Fifteen shots, four on target, an xG of 1.52 against Ecuador's 1.01 — the margins were thin and the resolution arrived right at the death. They made the better afternoon count when it mattered most. Sometimes patience is just nerve worn long.

    Full time · The Report Minutes from a famous point

    Ivory Coast 12 Germany

    They led Germany, and they led them for the better part of an hour. Kessié's strike just before the half was no smash-and-grab — Ivory Coast defended it with their teeth, their goalkeeper turning aside everything Germany threw until the resistance finally cracked. Undav's equaliser was a blow; his winner in the ninety-fourth was the cruel one, arriving the moment a point looked won. The expected-goals line of 1.23 says this was no fluke lead. Beaten, yes, but by ninety minutes that announced Ivory Coast can live with anyone. The margin will sting; the performance shouldn't.

    Full time · The Report Pepe settles it twice

    Ivory Coast 20 Curacao

    Ivory Coast did what a side of their pedigree should against opponents ranked forty-fifth in the field: they found the quality when it mattered and never let the game wobble. Nicolas Pepe was that quality, scoring inside seven minutes and again past the hour to put the result beyond doubt. Curacao, giving away a vast gap in resources, made the Ivorians work for stretches and kept the score respectable. But class told, calmly and twice. This was a professional's afternoon, and Ivory Coast will be content with exactly that as the tournament deepens.

    Full time · The Report Brave, beaten by the best

    Ivory Coast 12 Norway

    Ivory Coast had the territory, the fourteen corners and the belief, and it still was not enough. Antonio Nusa put Norway ahead before the break; Amad Diallo hauled his side level on seventy-four with the game there to be won. Then Erling Haaland did what Erling Haaland does, settling it on eighty-six. For all their pressure Ivory Coast created only 1.36 expected goals to Norway's 2.02 — the better chances were always at the other end. Brave, and beaten by the game's best finisher.

Friendship blends realized national co-starts with a club-chemistry bonus, so a settled XI and a club-spine squad both score high. Near 100 the total eases so the most-settled squads stay separated rather than all tying out. Gold lines trace the spine: teammates who share a club right now.
