Undav's stoppage-time brace lifts Germany to Group E top
Germany beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in Toronto to top Group E and reach the Round of 32, with Deniz Undav scoring both goals—including a stoppage-time winner after a clinical pass from Felix Nmecha following a late substitution boost. Kessié had opened the scoring for Ivory Coast, and Germany’s changes at the hour sparked urgency as Undav’s late heroics sealed the comeback amid Ivory Coast’s pace-driven threat. Germany now faces Ecuador with a chance to secure the top seed.
