Undav scores twice, saves Germany with 2-1 World Cup win over Ivory Coast
By LEXIE LINDERMAN
Associated Press
TORONTO (AP) --- Deniz Undav scored twice after being subbed on in the second
half as Germany defeated Ivory Coast 2-1 on Saturday and clinched a spot in the
knockout phase at the World Cup.
Four minutes into stoppage time, Undav received a pass from Felix Nmecha in
front of the net and rifled it past Ivory Coast goalkeeper Yahia Fofana to give
the Germans a comeback win.
Undav's first goal of the match came after Nadiem Amiri sent in a long ball --
that striker Kai Havertz let pass him by -- onto the boot of Undav, who slammed
it into the back of the net at the 68th minute. Both Amiri and Undav had subbed
on eight minutes earlier.
Four-time champion Germany has come back from disappointing group stage exits
in 2018 and 2022, while Ivory Coast is still searching for its first knockout
stage appearance and could still qualify. The last time Germany got past the
group stage it won the tournament in 2014.
