Germany 2-1 Ivory Coast: Undav turns a tense Toronto night at the last.

Germany got the points, but only after Toronto made them sweat.

The final score says Germany 2, Ivory Coast 1, and that is the line that matters most. It was not smooth. Kessié's first-half goal put Germany behind, the match stayed uncomfortable for a long stretch, and only Undav's second-half finish gave Germany room to breathe before his stoppage-time winner changed the whole walk out of BMO Field.

That late swing matters because it keeps Germany's group looking clean on paper. Six points from two matches is exactly what they wanted after the 7-1 opener against Curaçao. The route there, though, was far rougher than the table will remember.

Undav changed the match from the bench

Germany needed a different edge after halftime, and Undav gave them the finish the first hour was missing. His 68th-minute equalizer settled the immediate panic. His added-time winner did more than settle the score; it changed the meaning of the night from a warning result into a hard-earned win.

Ivory Coast deserve their part in the story. They made Germany defend space, gave the midfield a proper fight, and turned the match into something much closer to a knockout-style test than Germany probably wanted this early in the tournament.

What matters next

Germany now turn to Ecuador at MetLife Stadium on June 25. The group position is strong, but the Toronto tape will not be ignored: the first-half concession, the slow search for a finish, and the reliance on a late rescue are all things Nagelsmann can sharpen before the finale.
