🧠 Match Summary

vs

Germany looked to have set the tone early when Leroy Sané struck in just the second minute, threatening to turn this Group E clash in New York into a statement win for one of the tournament's heavyweight favorites. But Ecuador responded almost immediately, with Nilson Angulo leveling matters in the ninth minute to silence any German momentum and signal that La Tri had come to compete.

Despite Germany controlling 61% of possession and registering 11 shots throughout, Ecuador proved defensively resilient and lethal on the counter. Gonzalo Plata's 77th-minute goal proved to be the decisive blow, completing a famous comeback victory for the South Americans. With both sides level on shots on target at three apiece, Ecuador's clinical edge — and Germany's costly inability to convert — told the full story.
