Germany vs Ivory Coast score: Deniz Undav's dramatic double punches ticket to round of 32 for Europeans

Again from the bench, Germany gets what's likely the winner. Wowowowoww. Out of absolutely nothing.

Yan Diomande exits for Nicolas Pepe, and Germany steadies the ship as Havertz leaves for Goretzka. These feel like both teams are fine with a draw. 

Simon Adingra and Seko Fofana come in for a final push in this one.

Denis Undav has scored, and the match is level. Now that Germany finally has their first goal of the match, they're being backed by their fans in Toronto and will look to push for more because there's time for a winner here.

Sane, Musiala, and Pavlovic have all exited for Undav, Amiri, and Leweling. It's a change that will help spark Germany, as the sense of urgency is rising as the clock continues to tick. With 18 minutes remaining. 

Denis Undav is getting ready for Germany to offer a different look in the attack. Things have gotten stale in the German attack, so this will help freshen things up as Naglesmann prepares three changes.

Eight minutes into the second half, it's still all Ivory Coast as they've racked up three shots since the restart. They've been bright and direct, and Germany are well and truly on upset alert here. With head-to-head being the group tiebreaker, if this stands, Ivory Coast wins the group.

Nico Schlotterbeck was dealing with an ankle injury during the first half, and there were multiple moments that it seemed like he would exit, but now at the start of the second period, he'll be the first change to the XI as Antonio Rudiger enters the XI.

This game is far from over, but it will be if Germany doesn't adjust in the second half of play. Ivory Coast Emerse  Fae is winning the tactical battle in the early going with his five changes all hitting the mark. Leroy Sane has again struggled for Germany, but no one has truly stood out for Julian Nagelsmann's squad in the first half.

Germany are in danger of being upset at this stage. They've had chances, but there's no attacking cohesion to pull things together, and no one in the defense has an answer for Yan Diomande so far. Ivory Coast are having quite a time pushing forward with every chance that they can, as they want to get the job done and qualify for the knockout stages of the World Cup.

It was a great passage of play as Ivory Coast pushed the pace via Yan Diomande with Amad Diallo pulling Neuer out of his net before Kessie drove it home. Now Germany will have to play from behind for the first time during this tournament. They have the tools to make something happen, but with this start, Germany will want to score before Ivory Coast gains more confidence in the clash.

Yan Diomande has changed his boots during it, and Germany will be sad at the timing as they were getting into the flow of the match. They have held 63% possession in the first 24 minutes of play, but they haven't scored yet, although it's coming. Rudiger is also getting ready, so he may be coming in soon if not at halftime for Schlotterbeck. 

Germany has the ball in the back of the net, but it's a foul on the goalkeeper. Aleksandar Pavlovic scored with a header, but with contact on the keeper, this one won't stand. Yaha Fofana is now down after the challenge in what has been a physical match.

Nico Schlotterbeck is down for the second time this game, and it seems like he is having an ankle issue in the early going of the match. He scored from a set piece against Curacao and is one of Germany's best on-the-ball defenders, but he may need to be replaced by Antonio Rudiger if the ankle continues to bother him.

He's floating everywhere for Germany right now in the early going of the match. So far, he hasn't unlocked the defense, but it feels like it's coming sooner than later.

In the first moment that Ivory Coast has sustained possession, number 11 is looking for Bonny in the box. While that didn't come off, Ivory Coast will need to capitalize on those chances, as not as many will materialize facing Germany as they did facing Ecuador.

Havertz is already letting it fly off the first kick of the ball. This is going to be a fast paced game, but that's even faster than expected. 

Everyone is on the pitch, and it's time to get this match going!

Germany's defense did not exactly look flawless against Curacao so a forward like Yan Diomande will back himself to cause some damage. Still the quality at the other end should be enough to carry the favorites in what promises to be one of the most intriguing games of the World Cup group stage. Pick: Germany 3, Ivory Coast 1

It is probably worth saying that Ecuador were a particularly well-suited first opponent for the building of the Yan Diomande hype train. An opponent that is perfectly prepared to ride their way through this tournament on defense, who will leave their fullbacks in individual duels because they back those players to win those duels. And yet, there's a reason why you back Ecuador defender Piero Hincapie in a one vs. one. The guy got dribbled past 19 times in the Premier League all season, 1792 minutes where you'd struggle to find a single winger who got the better of him.

Diomande mullered him. Four times he dribbled past the left back Arsenal (the 1985 Chicago Bears of club football right now) go to when they want to keep things tight at the back. Ecuador tried giving Hincapie additional protection. It didn't work. When Amad Diallo came on in the second half, Hincapie got a break. Ecuador didn't. Diomande switched onto the left and just roasted the other full back.

We have a critical match in Group E on our hands today as Germany and Ivory Coast look to see who has the inside track to win the group. Emerse Fae has been on quite a run with the African side defeating France before the World Cup and carrying that momentum into the tournament. With Amad Diallo entering the starting XI, this is a game where Ivory Coast are going for it, and it'll make it a great match to follow.
