The stakes
Full time: Germany 1-2 Ecuador — a Group E result now baked into the table.
- storylineGermany's redemption arcEmphatic statement: 7-1 demolition of Curaçao (June 14) — their biggest World Cup win since the legendary 7-1 over Brazil in 2014. Havertz brace, Musiala's first WC goal, Wirtz two assists. Top of Group E.
The two sides
GermanyFour-time champs out for redemption
Four-time champions on a redemption tour, built around two 23-year-old prodigies in Wirtz and Musiala, who just put SEVEN past Curaçao. The wounded king might actually be awake.
EcuadorTheir best squad ever, gutted by a late loss
Arguably their best team ever — a £100M midfielder, a 19-year-old phenom, an elite defense — walking in on a 19-game unbeaten run. A heartbroken favorite is a dangerous, gripping watch.
