Overview

  • Germany came from behind to beat Côte d’Ivoire 2-1 on Saturday after substitute Deniz Undav scored twice late to secure progression to the round of 32.
  • Franck Kessié opened the scoring for Côte d’Ivoire and the West Africans led until Undav equalized in the second half and then netted a stoppage-time winner.
  • Undav has now scored three goals in the tournament and his match-winning role after coming off the bench intensifies the question of whether coach Julian Nagelsmann should make him a starter.
  • The victory put Germany on six points and guaranteed advancement, but first place can still be decided when Germany meets Ecuador on June 25 in New Jersey.
  • Côte d’Ivoire remain alive in the group with three points and must beat Curaçao in their final match to keep their chance of reaching the knockout stage.
