Angulo equalises in fast start in World Cup 2026 game after Sane opener

Ecuador are facing Germany at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey today as Group E concludes at the World Cup.

The Germans, already confirmed as group winners, led through Leroy Sane inside two minutes but were pegged back seven minutes later thanks to a great strike from Nilson Angulo.

Ivory Coast are leading 1-0 against Curacao in the other game in Group E.

Brilliant finish by Nilson Angulo after a quick Ecuador break down the left after Nmecha lost possession. Brilliant bit of play and Germany were caught sleeping.

Ecuador responded in the perfect way to falling behind, pressing high and trying to unsettle the Germans.

It worked superbly as they won the ball deep in Germany territory.

It fell to Angulo, who let fly with a low shot that went through bodies and past Neuer into the bottom corner.
