Commentary

90'+9'

Caicedo takes a huge breath as he tries to compose himself, but his corner is beaten away – and the referee sounds his final whistle!

90'+9'

FULL-TIME: IVORY COAST 1-0 ECUADOR

90'+8'

We’re beyond the allotted seven minutes of added time, and Ecuador push forward once more, winning a corner. This will surely be the final act of the contest.

90'+5'

Kossounou defends superbly against Hincapie, who initially had the jump on him, and Caicedo strides across to take the corner. It comes to little, though, and Ivory Coast are almost over the line now.

90'+3'

Can Ecuador repay the faith shown by the thousands of their adoring fans who made the trip to North America? They could easily have had a goal or two tonight already – and they know it.

90'+1'

There are seven minutes of added time to contend with here, and the drama may not be quite done yet.
