Amad Diallo’s 90th‑Minute Goal Gives Ivory Coast a 1-0 Win in Philadelphia

Overview

• Ivory Coast beat Ecuador 1-0 on a 90th-minute winner by Amad Diallo in a Group E match that finished in Philadelphia on Sunday.
• Lemon Hill’s FIFA Fan Festival has been open for all 39 tournament days and organizers say tens of thousands passed through the site since it opened.
• Entry to the Fan Festival is free but requires online registration and the grounds offered food, live music, pickup games and a FIFA store for fans without stadium tickets.
• Ecuadorian supporters formed a highly visible presence across the city, packing the Art Museum steps and wrapping the Rocky statue in an Ecuador jersey before the match.
• Organizers cited public-safety plans and adjusted schedules for heat and storms, and U.S. travel restrictions tied to Côte d’Ivoire made it harder for many native Ivorian fans to travel to Philadelphia despite the team’s local base.
