Germany Dominates Curaçao with 7-1 World Cup Victory
June 15, 2026 · Alfonso García
Germany opened their World Cup 2026 campaign with a commanding 7-1 victory over Curaçao, marking one of their most notable wins in tournament history.
Germany made a spectacular start to their World Cup 2026 campaign, defeating Curaçao 7-1 in Houston. Head coach Julian Nagelsmann breathed a sigh of relief after Curaçao briefly leveled the score at 1-1, before Germany surged ahead. This victory ranks among Germany's largest margins in World Cup history, only surpassed by their 8-0 win against Saudi Arabia in 2002. Notably, Germany also recorded a 7-1 win against Brazil in the 2014 semifinals and a 6-0 victory over Mexico in 1978. The goals against Curaçao came from Felix Nmecha (6'), Schlotterbeck (38'), Kai Havertz (45'+5, 88'), Musiala (47'), Nathaniel Brown (68'), and Undav (78'). Germany's next fixtures in Group E are against Ivory Coast on June 20 in Toronto and Ecuador five days later. This emphatic win has nearly secured their advancement from the group stage, led by captain Joshua Kimmich.
