Why Noslin didn\u2019t start I don\u2019t know. He has been great since coming on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 89 min: Room reacts well to a poor pass back to make sure there is not an embarrassing error as C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire push for a third in the closing moments.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 87 min: Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> deserve a goal from this game. Yes, they haven\u2019t been perfect but they have been lively and made it an interesting contest. But it is C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire who have the next chance, a great cross comes in but Obispo cuts it out expertly.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 85 min: Now Noslin wins a free kick and Antonisse takes it, the shot has a bit too much on it but it is kept in. A chance comes but Fofana punches clear.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 83 min: Noslin puts in a great cross but no one is there to hit it home, he has been lively since coming on.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 81 min: In the other game, Ecuador have gone ahead against Germany. That doesn\u2019t impact C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire\u2019s progression out of the group though, as long as they finish this game as winners.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 79 min: Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> have a free kick in a great position as the recente substitute Noslin draws a foul. the delivery is a good one but a header is over the bar.<\/p>\n Cura\u00e7ao’s Juninho Bacuna (left) heads the ball.

Fofana makes a loose save, Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> still fighting.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 73 min: K\u00e1ri Tulinius has got in touch and said:<\/p>\n double quotation markC\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire have so many different ways to score. Most national sides are fairly predictable in attack, but the Elephants aren\u2019t. Two other teams at the tournament that share that same quality are France and Norway, one of which will probably meet them in the round of 32. That could be a very entertaining match.<\/p>\n Absolutely and to think they have not been playing at their best today too proves they will give France or Norway a great match.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 71 min: We are back underway, 20 minutes to go here.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 68 min: Wahi, Toure and Diakite are all on for C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire as they look to see out this game.

They had been on top but C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire get Pepe in a great position and the finish again is beautiful. Surely that is the game wrapped up now.<\/p>\n Nicolas Pepe (left) shoots \u2026 Photograph: Will Oliver\/EPAAnd scores. Photograph: Petr David Josek\/APPepe (right) celebrates with teammates.

Pepe pops it in but it is cleared well.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 51 min: Fran Burke is in the stadium and has said:<\/p>\n double quotation markI\u2019m sitting across from the press box here, just catching up on your coverage. Chong could do with some more support on those runs of his but he is having a good game.<\/p>\n Chong is without doubt Cura\u00e7ao\u2019s best player in this fixture and you are not wrong, some support would do them wonders. L Bacuna was coming into the game more towards the end of the first half but in this second 45 they are yet to show what they can do.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 49 min: The pace of this half has not really got going yet.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 47 min: The commentators are suggesting Diallo may be injured but that has not been confirmed and he seemed absolutely fine at the end of the first half. I think it was just a tactical change.<\/p>\n Share<\/a>Back underway: Cura\u00e7ao 0-1 C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire<\/p>\n Here comes the second half, can C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire maintain their lead?

He is also taking the resulting free kick but the delivery is a little short and it\u2019s cleared.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 + 1 min: There will be four minutes added.<\/p>\n Share<\/a><\/p>\n 45 min: That was the chance. Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> are building momentum and L Bacuna ends up in a good position but he can\u2019t get it on target.
