Seven-goal Germany utterly ruthless in 7-1 demolition of Curaçao

Germany turned their World Cup Group E opener into a complete masterclass, cruising to a dominant 7-1 victory over debutants Curaçao at NRG Stadium.

Kai Havertz put the exclamation mark on the performance in the 88th minute, netting his second goal of the match to complete the seven-goal rout for Julian Nagelsmann's side.

After heading into the break with a 3-1 cushion—fueled by goals from Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck, and a first-half Havertz penalty—Germany relentlessly picked apart the debutants after the restart. Second-half strikes from Jamal Musiala, Nathaniel Brown, and Deniz Undav set the stage for Havertz to seal the emphatic victory just before the final whistle.
