Must-win game for Ecuador against already qualified Germany in Group E

It is a decisive fixture for Ecuador this evening as hopes of reaching the World Cup 2026 knockout stage hangs in the balance as they face Germany at the New York New Jersey Stadium. A popular pre-tournament dark horse, La Tri's World Cup campaign has not gone to plan having failed to score a single goal and picking up the solitary point from a possible four.

However, all is not lost for Ecuador. Victory here will almost certainly be enough to progress as one of the best third-placed teams, therefore setting up a daunting showdown with a group winner in the last-32. That said, a third scoreless game in a row and it will be an early exit for Moises Caicedo, Piero Hincapie and co.

Germany, meanwhile, have won both games so far which means they have progressed past a World Cup group phase for the first time since 2014 en route to clinching a fourth gold star. As such Julian Nagelsmann has the luxury of rotating his squad with one eye on next Monday knockout tie. Follow Ecuador vs Germany LIVE below with our dedicated match blog.
