## Germany 2-1 Ivory Coast — Undav’s Late Heroics
Substitute **Deniz Undav** cemented his status as Germany’s supersub with a dramatic 94th-minute winner to complete a stunning comeback against Ivory Coast in Toronto. The four-time world champions had fallen behind to Franck Kessié’s 30th-minute strike, but Undav — who also scored and assisted twice off the bench in Germany’s 7-1 opening win over Curaçao — proved unstoppable.
| Team | Goals | Scorers |
|——|——-|———|
| Germany 🇩🇪 | 2 | Undav (68′, 90+4) |
| Ivory Coast 🇨🇮 | 1 | Kessié (30′) |
The result guarantees Germany a place in the knockout stages (top 32), while Ivory Coast must beat Curaçao in their final group game to have any hope of advancing.

## Cape Verde 2-2 Uruguay — The Fairytale Continues
Cape Verde’s debut World Cup campaign is turning heads across the globe. After holding European champions Spain to a stunning 0-0 draw in their opener, the island nation battled back from 2-1 down to earn a 2-2 draw against two-time champions Uruguay in Miami.
**Kevin Pina** opened the scoring with a long-range free-kick that sliced through the wall. Uruguay struck back through Maxi Araujo and Agustin Canobbio, but a defensive lapse allowed **Helio Varela** to equalize in the second half. Federico Valverde had a late winner ruled out for offside.
| Team | Goals | Scorers |
|——|——-|———|
| Cape Verde 🇨🇻 | 2 | Pina (21′), Varela (68′) |
| Uruguay 🇺🇾 | 2 | Araujo (34′), Canobbio (45+1′) |
With two points from two games, Cape Verde are very much alive in Group H alongside Spain (4 pts), Uruguay (2 pts), and Saudi Arabia (1 pt).
