In a crucial Group E matchup, substitute Amad Diallo made a significant impact by connecting with Wilfried Singo\u2019s strong run and cross, skillfully guiding the ball into the far corner.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ruby-table-contents rbtoc table-fw\">\n<ul class=\"toc-content h5\">\n<li><a class=\"table-link no-link anchor-link\" href=\"#player-ratings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-index=\"rb-heading-index-0\">Player Ratings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"table-link no-link anchor-link\" href=\"#match-statistics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-index=\"rb-heading-index-3\">Match Statistics<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Softfootball reported that this goal not only secured a vital three points but also positioned the Elephants closer to their first advancement to the knockout stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ecuador had maintained an unbeaten run since 2024 under Sebasti\u00e1n Beccacece, but their defense was finally penetrated. Despite hitting the woodwork on three occasions by John Yeboah, Alan Minda, and veteran striker Enner Valencia, they could not find the back of the net. Ivory Coast also came close through Elye Wahi, yet it was Diallo&#8217;s last-minute effort that made the difference.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-115140\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-06-15-at-08.21.10.jpeg\" alt=\"Man United's Amad scores late as Ivory Coast edge Ecuador (Photo credit: FIFA media)\" width=\"1014\" height=\"1002\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Man United&#8217;s Amad scores late as Ivory Coast edge Ecuador (Photo credit: FIFA media)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This outcome leaves Group E in a competitive state, with Germany and Cura\u00e7ao also in the mix.
