🧠 Match Summary
vs
Germany delivered a commanding performance in Houston, dismantling Curaçao 7-1 in their FIFA World Cup 2026 Group E opener. Felix Nmecha set the tone early, striking in just the sixth minute, before Livano Comenencia briefly silenced the German side with a 21st-minute equalizer. Germany quickly reasserted control, with Nico Schlotterbeck heading home in the 38th minute and Kai Havertz converting a penalty on the stroke of half-time to restore a comfortable cushion.
The second half belonged entirely to Die Mannschaft. Jamal Musiala extended the lead two minutes after the restart, Nathaniel Brown added a sixth on 68 minutes, Deniz Undav struck on 78, and Havertz completed the scoring with his second in the 88th minute. Germany's dominance was reflected throughout, controlling 65 percent of possession, registering 26 shots, and keeping Curaçao's goalkeeper busy with 12 efforts on target.
