Comments:

Ivory Coast had now commenced their fourth participation at a FIFA World Cup finals, and first since 2014, as they aimed to reach the knockout stages for the first time. . Excluding extra time, this was the second time that an African nation had won a game at a FIFA World Cup tournament with a goal in the 89th minute or later: previously Cameroon versus Brazil at Lusail, Qatar in December 2022. . The Elephants had now won six and lost one of their last seven 'A' international games.

Comments:

This defeat ended Ecuador's longest-ever unbeaten run of 19 games since a 1-0 loss to Brazil in a FIFA World Cup qualifier in Curitiba on 6 September 2024 (won eight). . La Tri had now conceded eight goals in their 21 games under manager Sebastian Beccacece. . Aged 39 year and 76 days, goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez extended his record of being the oldest player to represent Ecuador at a FIFA World Cup tournament.
