World Cup 2026: Ecuador vs Germany lineups – Venezia’s Yeboah starts for South Americans as Estupinan benched | OneFootball

Ecuador vs Germany is one of this evening’s two World Cup Group E deciders, with the European side already through into the next round and the South Americans with just a point to their name so far.

Ecuador have largely disappointed and are yet to score a single goal, losing 1-0 to Ivory Coast before a goalless draw with Curacao.

Germany, meanwhile, thumped Curacao 7-1 before a comeback 2-1 victory over Ivory Coast.

One Serie A stars lines up for Ecuador this evening, with Pervis Estupiñán of Milan having been benched, Venezia’s John Yeboah starts in the attack.

For the Germans, former Rossoneri defender Malick Thiaw sits on the bench, having been beaten to the eleven by Antonio Rüdiger.
