Germany came from behind to defeat the Ivory Coast 2-1 in a World Cup group-stage match on June 20. The Ivory Coast took the lead in the 30th minute on a goal by Franck Kessié, leaving Germany trailing at halftime despite several first-half chances.
Germany head coach Julian Nagelsmann made a substitution at the 60th minute, replacing Jamal Musiala with VfB Stuttgart forward Deniz Undav. The change shifted the match in Germany’s favor.
Undav scored the tying goal in the 68th minute.
He then added the winner in the 94th minute, just before the final whistle. The two goals marked the biggest of Undav’s career and secured the three points for Germany.
Undav’s wife, Tanja, watched the match on television and posted reactions on social media. One post showed Undav on screen with a heart-eyes emoji; a second post after the first goal read, in translated German, “Too much for my heart Unbelievable .” Germany’s supporters celebrated the late victory across the country.
