Ruthless Germany dismantle debutants Curaçao 6-1 in Houston

Germany turned their World Cup Group E opener into a complete rout, cruising to a dominant 6-1 victory over debutants Curaçao at NRG Stadium.

Substitute Deniz Undav capped off a spectacular second-half display in the 77th minute, capitalizing on a brilliant team performance to fire home Germany's sixth goal.

After heading into the break with a 3-1 lead—thanks to goals from Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck, and a Kai Havertz penalty—Julian Nagelsmann's side refused to slow down. Jamal Musiala opened the second-half scoring in the 46th minute, followed by a clinical strike from breakout defender Nathaniel Brown, before Undav sealed the commanding six-goal masterclass.
