Summary

Germany came from behind to beat the Ivory Coast 2-1 in Toronto, with super-sub Deniz Undav scoring twice, including a dramatic 94th-minute winner, to confirm their place in the World Cup round of 32.
Ivory Coast led through a brilliant Franck Kessie strike and had two German goals controversially disallowed, but ultimately fell short despite a performance full of attacking quality from Diomande and Diallo.
The result leaves Ivory Coast's qualification hopes hanging in the balance heading into their final group fixture, while Germany can seal top spot in Group E with a single point in their last match.

Toronto Stadium delivered another World Cup classic as the Germany national football team came from behind to beat the Ivory Coast 2-1, with substitute Deniz Undav once again proving the difference-maker for Julian Nagelsmann's side. Two disallowed Germany goals and a stunning Franck Kessie strike had Les Elephants leading at the break, but Undav's introduction transformed the contest, delivering both an equaliser and a dramatic 94th-minute winner to send the German supporters into raptures.

For fans following Germany's tournament trajectory, this result carries significant weight. The victory confirms Germany's progression to the round of 32, with the side now needing just a point in their final group game, or an Ecuador slip-up against Curacao, to seal top spot in Group E. Deniz Undav's impact off the bench has become a genuine talking point among supporters and pundits alike, with the striker now boasting five goal contributions from just 56 minutes of World Cup football, raising the intriguing question of whether Nagelsmann should consider starting him in the knockout rounds.

For the Ivory Coast national football team, the picture is far more complicated. Despite producing a performance full of quality and ambition, including a moment of real individual brilliance from Diomande and Kessie, Les Elephants now face genuine uncertainty heading into their final group match. Having entered this fixture with a real chance of securing qualification for the first time in their history, Emerse Fae's side will need to monitor results closely and may require a positive outcome in their final fixture to reach the knockout stages. Here are Sportsdunia's Germany vs Ivory Coast player ratings.
