  • 32' Curaçao are enjoying more possession but struggling to find a way through a disciplined Ivory Coast backline.
  • 37' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds.

  • 66' Fresh legs for Ivory Coast! Sepe Elye Wahi comes on to replace Nicolas Pepe.
  • 71' Curaçao currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 75' Poor challenge from Juninho Bacuna. The referee spots it immediately and shows the card.
  • 77' Time for substitution for Curacao. Deveron Fonville is replaced by Tyrese Noslin.
  • 82' Over 82 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
