The first half has ended at Lincoln Financial Field. Despite a slight edge for Ecuador, Ivory Coast and Ecuador are deadlocked at 0-0.

Ecuador is dictating the tempo with 56% possession and more threatening chances.

Ivory Coast seems to be losing the midfield battle somewhat. Seko Fofana has been shown a yellow card and will need to be cautious to avoid a sending-off.

Emerse Faé is expected to tweak his tactics to spark stars Kessié and Pépé. Meanwhile, Amad Diallo and Chris Inao Oulai are still waiting for their chance from the bench.
