Substitute Deniz Undav scores twice to send Germany past Ivory Coast and into World Cup knockouts

—Germany came from behind to beat Ivory Coast 2-1 in the 2026 World Cup group stage, with substitute Deniz Undav — a striker with Kurdish roots and no current club — scoring both goals after coming on. The result puts Germany through to the Round of 32. Undav's rescue act may earn him a starting spot for the knockout stage, according to reports. Germany erased an early Ivory Coast lead to secure the win in Toronto.
