Germany beat Ivory Coast to reach World Cup knockouts

TORONTO, Canada, June 21, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Germany reached the World Cup knockout phase for the first time since 2014 as substitute Deniz Undav scored twice in a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over the Ivory Coast in Toronto on Saturday.

Franck Kessie turned in from close range to give the Ivorians a 30th-minute lead, but Undav volleyed home midway through the second half before snatching an injury-time winner.
