Sky Sports · United Kingdom · Ecuador stuns Germany 2-1 at MetLife to reach World Cup knockout stage
Sky Sports focuses on Germany's failure: Leroy Sane scored in the second minute, then Ecuador equalised seven minutes later and Plata won it in the 77th. A clear German penalty was overturned by VAR. Germany's early exit (group stage) marks a second successive major tournament humiliation, following elimination at Euro 2024 by Spain.
