Fans across the United Kingdom and elsewhere watched the Group E clash on Thursday. Ivory Coast started Bonny from Inter Milan and Kossounou of Atalanta in defence and midfield. They opened the scoring in the first half, added a second goal ahead of the break and finished the game with a late strike to win 2‑1. It ended 2‑1.
BBC provided live commentary and a panel of pundits for the full ninety minutes. When that final whistle blew, Yahoo Sports Canada launched a poll for fans to rate the Curaçao players straight away.
