The German attacking machine was firing on all cylinders for the full 90 minutes, staging a true goal-fest.
The main star for Die Mannschaft was Kai Havertz, who netted a superb brace. Felix Nmecha, Nico Schlotterbeck, Nathanael Brown, and Deniz Undav each got on the scoresheet as well. A special place in history belongs to Jamal Musiala's goal in the 47th minute, which made it 4-1 and officially propelled Bayern Munich to the top spot for World Cup goals among all clubs in history.
Despite the lopsided final score, this match will forever be etched in the memories of Germany’s opponents. The island nation of Curaçao, with a population of just 156,000, managed to experience a historic triumph in the midst of a tough battle. Livano Comenencia scored Curaçao’s first ever World Cup goal, temporarily leveling the game at 1-1 in the first half and giving his tiny homeland a moment of glory.
Reminder: The Portugal national team will honor the memory of Diogo Jota at the World Cup.
