Germany made a flying start to their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign with a crushing 7-1 victory over Curacao in Houston on Sunday. Kai Havertz scored twice, while Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck, Jamal Musiala, Nathaniel Brown and Deniz Undav also got on the scoresheet as six German players found the net. Curacao briefly equalised through Livano Comenencia, who scored his country's first-ever World Cup goal, but Germany quickly regained control and dominated the contest. The emphatic win sends Germany to the top of Group E with a huge goal difference advantage.
