Côte d'Ivoire secure a 1-0 victory over Ecuador, with Amad Diallo's decisive 90th-minute goal highlighting their wasteful dominance. Despite controlling the match and outshooting Ecuador 4-1 on target, Côte d'Ivoire's inefficiency in front of goal nearly cost them, underscoring the importance of Diallo's late heroics.

Ecuador's commanding 75% possession against Curacao results in a frustrating 0-0 draw, as their territorial control fails to translate into goals. Despite dominating the ball and dictating play, Ecuador's inability to break down Curacao's resilient defense leaves them without the reward their dominance suggests.

Ecuador executes a counterattacking masterclass to defeat Germany 2-1, despite Germany's early lead from Leroy Sané's 2nd-minute goal. Nilson Angulo emerges as the hero, capitalizing on Ecuador's 39% possession to exploit Germany's defensive vulnerabilities. This strategic approach allows Ecuador to overturn the deficit and secure victory.
