Ecuador 2 - 1 Germany
Against all odds, Ecuador comes from behind to claim a vital 2-1 win over Germany, guaranteeing them a spot in the knockout stages.
Sebastian Beccacece's side got off to the worst possible start when Sane put Germany up a goal after just two minutes.
But it didn't take Ecuador long to respond.
In fact, it took just seven minutes for Angulo to bend the ball past Neuer with an exquisite finish from range, tying the score at 1-1.
A draw wouldn't have been enough for Ecuador, who knew they needed a win to avoid an early exit, and they were made to work incredibly hard for the three points.
The crucial breakthrough finally came on the 77-minute mark when Rodriguez's header flicked the ball into the path of Plata, who poked it past Neuer to put his side up 2-1.
Ecuador hadn't scored a single goal at this tournament prior to kickoff and recorded their lowest amount of shots so far (seven), which produced 1.51 xG to Germany's 0.65.
Despite the defeat, Germany still finishes top of Group E after winning their first two matches, ahead of second-placed Ivory Coast due to their superior head-to-head record.
Ecuador, of course, finishes in third and could be set for a meeting with England in the round of 32 depending on how things pan out in Group L, while Curacao finishes bottom with a single point to their name.
That's all for this one!
