With 12 saves to his name, Room has been instrumental in keeping his team in the game, despite Ecuador's relentless attacks. The match between Curaçao and Ecuador remains goalless, with both teams creating scoring opportunities but unable to find the back of the net. Meanwhile, the injury to Juninho Bacuna has added to Curaçao's concerns, as they look to capitalize on their solid defensive display. As the second half gets underway, both teams will be looking to break the deadlock and secure their first win of the tournament.
Germany's substitution strategy has paid off, as Deniz Undav's close-range volley has pulled them level with Côte d'Ivoire. This goal marks Undav's eighth in his last eight caps, a testament to his impressive form. Prior to the equalizer, Côte d'Ivoire's Yahia Fofana made a crucial save to deny Havertz, showcasing his reflexes. As the match nears its conclusion, both teams are pushing for a winner, with Havertz squandering a good chance at the back post.

Meanwhile, Christ Inao Oulaï's shot sailed just over the crossbar, highlighting Côte d'Ivoire's continued threat.

Earlier, Amad Diallo's shot was blocked on the goal-line, but captain Franck Kessié capitalized on the rebound to give Les Éléphants a temporary lead. The match has been marked by several notable moments, including a disallowed German goal due to a foul in the build-up, and a spectacular diving save by Fofana to deny Havertz. As the teams head into the final stretch, Germany will be looking to build on their momentum, while Côte d'Ivoire will aim to regain their lead.
