An increasingly ​desperate Ecuador stunned Germany ‌2-1 on Wednesday (June 25, 2026) to drag ​their World ⁠Cup campaign out of the flames and qualify for a ‌place in the last 32.

Needing a win —‌ or a miracle — to ⁠keep their hopes ⁠alive, the South Americans suffered the worst possible start when ​already-qualified Germany ‌struck in the second minute, with Leroy Sane brilliantly opening his account at ‌a major international ​tournament in his 15th appearance at one.

Ecuador ⁠had failed to score in this tournament despite 39 ‌previous attempts, but finally broke their duck with their 40th shot when Nilson Angulo curled the ball beyond ‌Manuel Neuer to spark wild ​celebrations among the sea of yellow in the ⁠stands.

Gonzalo Plata then bundled ⁠home the winner with 13 minutes remaining ‌to put Ecuador in the knockout rounds.

Germany are guaranteed to advance as winners of Group E following wins over Curacao and Ivory Coast, putting first-round exits in the two previous World Cups behind them.

“It is very important that we remain modest,” said Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.

“We have won two matches, one was clear, one was very close. We want to win again tomorrow and we’ll see who we play on Monday (in the last 32).”

The four-time world champions take on an Ecuador side who desperately need a victory to extend their stay in the competition.
