Germany Comeback Secures 2-1 Win Over Ivory Coast, Advances to World Cup KnockoutsPreviousNext

Germany and Ivory Coast faced off in a crucial FIFA World Cup 2026 Group E match in Toronto, both seeking to secure knockout stage qualification. Ivory Coast took an early lead through Franck Kessie, but Germany rallied with two late goals from substitute Deniz Undav, including a stoppage-time winner, to win 2-1. The victory ended Germany's recent group stage exits and advanced them to the Round of 32. Ivory Coast showed strong defensive organization and counterattacking threat but fell short despite their resilience.
