Germany vs Ivory Coast was originally supposed to be a pre-tournament friendly but it was called off as the sides were drawn in Group E. They now meet in their second match at the 2026 World Cup after winning their respective opening matches.
Die Mannschaft thrashed minnows Curacao 7-1 in the first leg’s biggest difference in the rankings, with Kai Havertz scoring twice and Deniz Undav coming off the bench for an impressive cameo that included a goal and two assists. Although Germany look well on their way to putting their group stage exits in 2018 and 2022 behind them, Julian Nagelsmann’s side are fully aware of the threat from the Ivory Coast.
The Elephants secured a 1-0 victory over Ecuador and finally secured a winner in the 90th minute through Manchester United’s Amad Diallo, who starred from the bench. The Ivorians were defensively resolute throughout their opening game and will look to lean on that solidity again if they are to stop Germany’s scoring. However, they also possess plenty of attacking quality.
Germany captain Joshua Kimmich singled out Yan Diomande, RB Leipzig’s 2025/26 Bundesliga Rookie of the Season, for special praise. “His dribbling is exceptional, a bit like Kingsley Coman at Bayern back then,” Kimmich said of the Liverpool goal.
