The rock-bottom 1.5 total told the story: two defense-first sides ground out a single goal, with Amad Diallo settling it late for Ivory Coast. Our best bet, the under 1.5, cashed in the cagey game we projected, though the result flipped our other two reads (the value draw and an Ecuador win both missed) since Ivory Coast, not Ecuador, took the three points.
