CONTEXT

Côte d'Ivoire defeated Ecuador 1-0 in a tightly contested encounter that remained goalless at halftime. Despite Ecuador holding a slight possession advantage at 52 percent to 48 percent the home side created the clearer opportunities throughout. Côte d'Ivoire registered an expected goals total of 2.0 while Ecuador managed 0.99 reflecting the narrow but deserved margin of victory. No red cards were shown to either side allowing both teams to maintain their intended formations and tactical approaches until the final whistle. The stronger-rated Ecuador side was unable to convert territorial control into meaningful threat while Côte d'Ivoire struck the decisive goal after the interval. The result aligned closely with underlying metrics and produced only minimal deviation from pre-match projections.
