The first of Pépé’s two goals in this match was Ivory Coast’s fastest ever goal in a World Cup game (6min 4sec).

Nicolas Pépé became just the second Ivory Coast player to score 2+ goals in a World Cup match (since Aruna Dindane vs Serbia in 2006).

Ivory Coast have qualified for the knockout stages of the World Cup for the first time- also the first time they have won multiple matches in a single edition of the WC.

Ivory Coast have just recorded their 5th win in World Cup history.

Ivory Coast have scored in each of their last 8 World Cup matches — their longest scoring run at a World Cup.

Curaçao faced 30 shots on target across their three matches at the World Cup, the second most by a team in the group stage of a single edition.
