Ecuador defeats Germany and advances to the round of 16 in the 2026 World Cup

Ecuador defeats Germany 2-1 and advances to the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup.

New Jersey, USA. — Ecuador achieved a historic victory by beating Germany 2-1 at MetLife Stadium, ensuring its place in the round of 32 of the 2026 World Cup. The victory also allowed Ivory Coast to qualify as second in Group E after beating Curacao 2-0.

The game started uphill for Ecuador. Leroy Sané opened the scoring in the 2nd minute with a left-footed shot, despite the fact that the Ecuadorians claimed a previous foul. However, Nilson Angulo equalized seven minutes later with a right hand from mid-range. Gonzalo Plata sealed the victory in the 78th minute, anticipating Manuel Neuer after a corner.

With this result, Ecuador became the fourth Latin American team to beat Germany in a World Cup, joining Argentina (1986), Brazil (2002) and Mexico (2018). The team led by Sebastián Beccacece has 4 points and guarantees at least one of the tickets for the best third places.

Germany, which had passed the group stage after being eliminated in Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022, tried to react but could not beat goalkeeper Hernán Galíndez. In the second half, a penalty annulled in favor of the Germans after a VAR review (previous foul by Sané) gave peace of mind to Ecuador, which assumed a forced offensive attitude to seek victory.

Silver’s goal unleashed Ecuadorian joy. Towards the end, Deniz Undav threatened with a deflected left footed shot in the third added minute, but the defense maintained the advantage. Ecuador overcomes the group stage for the second time in its history (the first was in 2006).

Germany, five-time world champions, will face a better third place on Monday the 29th in Boston. Ivory Coast will face the Group I runner-up a day later. Ecuador will have to wait to find out its rival in the next round.
