A prominent figure of the match was Curaçao's goalkeeper, who according to available information plays in the second division, broke a World Cup record and withstood numerous shots from the opponent. Curaçao is ranked 81st and is among the lowest-ranked teams at the tournament, yet it managed to take points off Ecuador. sport.pravda.sk ↗
The situation in the group was also influenced by Germany's match against Ivory Coast in Toronto. Germany won 2:1, although it conceded in the 30th minute after a strike from Franck Kessié. Deniz Undav first equalized in the 68th minute and later added the decisive goal. This secured Germany's progress. teraz.sk ↗
