Ivory Coast landed the first big moment when Kessie’s 29'03'' finish put the visitors ahead, leaving Germany chasing the game into half-time.
Germany moved quickly at the interval, sending on Antonio Ruediger for Nico Schlotterbeck at 45'00''. The home side kept reshaping after the restart, with a triple change around the hour: Jamie Leweling replaced Leroy Sane at 59'26'', Deniz Undav came on for Jamal Musiala at 59'32'', and Nadiem Amiri replaced Aleksandar Pavlovic at 59'37''.
Those switches told. Undav levelled at 67'38'' from Amiri’s pass, and Ivory Coast responded with their own raft of substitutions from 74'11'' onward as they tried to ride out the pressure.
Germany’s late push eventually decided the summary: Undav struck again at 90'00'' from Nmecha’s assist. The match finished with Germany on 16 shots and 8 corners, while Ivory Coast recorded 38 clearances.
