Netherlands v Sweden, Germany v Ivory Coast, Ecuador v Curaçao, Tunisia v Japan games, standings, groups, teams, players, how to watch
Ivory Coast kept the German team waiting on the field after the break and took the field a little late. But when it comes to mind games, their opponents don’t care and it’s only a matter of minutes before Brown gets inside and releases Musiala, who takes the shot.
But Germany then find themselves on the back foot with a promising move from opening striker Kessie combining with Diallo to lead to more promising moves. Lastly, Diomande’s voles are wide.
This looks a bit worrying for Germany, and let’s not forget that this country has been eliminated in the group stage of every World Cup since winning it in 2014. The opening 7-1 thrashing of Curacao was simple enough, but next week Ecuador will be another possibility entirely.
PS Schlotterbeck called it a day at half-time and was replaced by Rudiger.
Germany 0-1 Ivory Coast, 57 minutes
