Ecuador Coach Claims Unfair Defeat Against Ivory Coast

The Ecuador coach, Sebastián Beccacece, denounced an 'unfair defeat' after the World Cup match against Ivory Coast.

The Ecuadorians hit the post three times, while the Ivorians won thanks to a decisive goal from Amad Diallo.

The match saw 27 shots (15 from Ivory Coast, 12 from Ecuador) and the ball hit the post four times.

According to statements collected by beIN SPORTS, the coach said: 'It's painful because it was an unfair defeat.'

He added: 'We played very well, we created the most dangerous opportunities and we could have won this match, but due to a single detail at the end of the match, we leave empty-handed.'

Both teams share the same group as Germany, who won big against Curaçao (7-1).

In the second round, Ecuador will face Curaçao, while Ivory Coast will try to contain the 'German machine'.
