Match Report

Ivory Coast secured a comfortable 2–0 victory over Curaçao in their World Cup group stage encounter, with Nicolas Pépé the decisive figure on the night. The winger broke the deadlock as early as the seventh minute, giving the Elephants an advantage they would not relinquish, and the scoreline at half-time reflected their control of the contest.

Pépé doubled his tally on 64 minutes to put the result beyond doubt, completing a brace before being substituted off three minutes later. It was a productive evening for the forward despite picking up a yellow card in the 35th minute. Our pre-match AI model had rated an Ivory Coast win as the most likely outcome at 70%, a call that proved correct.

Curaçao struggled to make their territorial dominance count — they held 63% of possession but managed only two shots on target compared to Ivory Coast's three. Yellow cards for Juninho Bacuna and Gervane Kastaneer summed up a frustrating evening for the Caribbean side, who could not find a way through a well-organised Ivorian defence.
