Germany advanced to the World Cup knockout stage for the first time since 2014 after a 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast on Saturday. The match, a Group E contest, saw Germany trailing before a late resurgence fueled by substitute Deniz Undav. Undav scored two goals, securing the win and eliminating Ivory Coast from contention. Germany’s comeback was particularly significant as it ended a streak of failing to reach the knockout rounds in recent tournaments. The victory ensures Germany will continue in the competition, while Ivory Coast faces elimination. The game was played in Toronto, marking a return to form for the German national team.
