Curacao chase history as Ivory Coast eye knockouts
A decisive Group E finale in Philadelphia sees Curacao needing a historic victory to keep their fairytale alive, while Ivory Coast can secure a knockout spot with just a point.
Curacao enter this clash bottom of Group E with one point after a resilient 0-0 draw against Ecuador followed by a heavy 1-7 defeat to Germany. Manager Dick Advocaat has overseen just one win in the last seven matches—a friendly against Aruba—and knows his side must win here to have any chance of progressing as a best third-placed team.
Ivory Coast sit second in the group with three points after a 1-0 win over Ecuador and a narrow 1-2 loss to Germany. Emerse Fae’s side are looking to reach the World Cup knockout rounds for the first time in their history, having failed to do so in three previous tournament appearances.
