Germany won their previous match and are sure of finishing top of the group. Ecuador comes with only one point and is forced to win to keep their hopes alive.
Germany should be clear after a 7-1 victory to Curacao, right? That will only depend on if they can show the same quality in this match against the Ivory Coast.
The once great Germany has failed itself twice in a row, hence, they don't want to fail a third time. And Curacao are debuting in the tournament. Loss for Germany would be catastrophic. For Curacao? A dream.
