Events

  • 2' A goal from the Germany international Leroy Sane! He fires home on 2 to make it 0-1!
  • 7' The travelling Germany supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 9' Goal! Nilson Angulo scores his 4 goal in 390 matches.
  • 14' Ecuador has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 1 of the last 1 meetings.

  • 24' Antonio Rudiger is a natural and has been asked to do a very specific job for Ecuador tonight.
  • 29' Ecuador currently sit in the Array table. A result here could be decisive in the race for the top positions.
  • 34' Ecuador are deployed in a 4-4-2 today, looking to exploit space against Germany's 4-2-3-1 shape.
  • 39' Germany is showing some good football. However, Germany are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 43' It’s gonna be a card for Piero Hincapie.
  • 44' Aleksandar Pavlovic has been a danger all night but risks an early exit having now seen a card on 44.

  • 55' Spectators are craving for more action. Both teams play very cautiously. They need to put some more energy.
  • 60' Germany ring the changes. Joshua Kimmich has done his job and it is now time for Malick Thiaw to step up.
  • 64' Ecuador manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Angelo Preciado is hanging Alan Franco on the field on 64 minute.
  • 69' A tactical chess match is unfolding here. The question is which manager blinks first.
  • 71' Another substitution for Ecuador to replace Piero Hincapie by Pervis Estupinan on 71 minute.
  • 73' A tactical swap from Germany — Pascal Gross on, Florian Wirtz off on 73 minutes.
  • 78' Clinical. Composed. Brilliant. Gonzalo Plata makes it 2-1.
  • 83' Moises Caicedo has been relatively quiet despite scoring 6 goals in his last 336 appearances.
  • 85' Jordy Caicedo has so much to prove this time. He replaces Nilson Angulo on 85 minute.
  • 89' Gonzalo Plata is having his name booked by the referee on 89.
  • The final score is 2-1.
