Germany made a confident start to their World Cup campaign with a 7-1 win over tournament debutants Curacao in Group E, Yankee Scores reports…
Felix Nmecha opened the scoring just six minutes in, but Germany were stunned when Livano Comenencia levelled with Curacao’s first ever World Cup goal.
It was a jubilant moment for a nation with a total population of 160,000 who have become the smallest to ever reach and score at the World Cup.
However, a Nico Schlotterbeck header and Havertz penalty soon restored Germany’s advantage before half-time.
Just over a minute into the second half, Jamal Musiala slotted the ball into the far corner from Joshua Kimmich’s threaded pass before Germany struck again in the 68th minute when Florian Wirtz’s pass was flicked by Denis Undav to Nathaniel Brown, who hooked a volley into the bottom corner.
