Curaçao started the match enthusiastically, but Germany found the goal after five minutes. After a smooth combination, Lukas Nmecha shot the ball into the top right corner. Yet the smallest World Cup participant ever reached the same height again. Livano Comenencia leveled the score with a deflected shot.
For a moment there seemed to be a stunt, but before half time our eastern neighbors scored twice. First it was Nico Schlotterbeck from a corner and in injury time of the first half Kai Havertz scored from the penalty spot. This was preceded by a foul by former Ajax player and former AZ player Riechedly Bazoer.
