The second round of matches in Group E at the FIFA World Cup 2026 were completed on Saturday with Germany coming from behind to beat Ivory Coast and Curacao holding Ecuador.
With its second win in two games, Germany has already qualified for the round of 32 phase.
| Position | Team | Played | Wins | Draws | Losses | GD | Points |
| 1. | Germany | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | +7 | 6 |
| 2. | Ivory Coast | 2 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 3 |
| 3. | Ecuador | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -1 | 1 |
| 4. | Curacao | 2 | 0 | 1 | 1 | -6 | 1 |
Curacao’s hard-fought draw against Ecuador brought about its first point in the World Cup. The side still remains bottom of the table but can climb up with a favourable result in its next game against Ivory Coast.
Ivory Coast needs a solitary point in that encounter to make sure of qualification to the next phase as the second-placed team.
Ecuador will need to beat Germany and hope that Ivory Coast loses to Curacao to move to second place, thanks to a better goal difference in comparison to the small island nation.
If both Ecuador and Ivory Coast win their final group matches, the latter will finish third in the group and will need to wait for the results from other groups to see of they make the top eight.
If Ecuador only manages a draw in its final game or loses to the 2014 champion, it will need Ivory Coast to beat Curacao to finish third, but that may not be enough to finish as one of the eight best teams in that position.
