Ecuador v Germany
Ecuador stun Germany to enter World Cup knockouts
Ecuador produced a rousing fightback to come from behind and beat Germany 2-1 in their final Group E match in New Jersey to put themselves into the last 32 of the World Cup.
Leroy Sané had fired Germany, who were already qualified as group winners, into an early lead at the MetLife Stadium, before Nilson Angulo soon had Ecuador level after nine minutes.
Germany had a penalty at the start of the second half overturned following a VAR review for a foul in the build-up before Gonzalo Plata stabbed in the winner with 13 minutes left to leave the South Americans on four points and top of the third-place rankings.
Ecuador's victory further dents Scotland's hopes of making it through to the last 32. Steve Clarke's side - who have three points and a minus three goal difference - now drop down into the final eighth spot, but with other groups still to finish.
