Germany and Ivory Coast meet at the World Cup for the very first time.

Germany have faced African opposition 9 times at the World Cup, only lost once.

Deniz Undav is the first player for Germany to score on both of his first two World Cup appearances since Miroslav Klose in 2002.

Late drama — Germany snatch a 2–1 lead against Ivory Coast in the 90+4 minute.

Germany have won their first two matches for the first time at the World Cup since 2006.

Germany fought back to beat Ivory Coast 2–1 after conceding the opening goal — their 13th World Cup win after falling behind first.

Germany have conceded in each of their last 8 World Cup matches — their last World Cup clean sheet was against Argentina in 2014.

Germany have just recorded their 70th win in World Cup history.

Deniz Undav has direct involvement in 5 goals (3 goals and 2 assists) as a substitute - the joint most by any player in a single edition of the World Cup.
