The third round of matches in Groups D, E, and F at the 2026 World Cup has been played. The new playoff participants have been determined. Unexpectedly, Ecuador, who sensationally defeated Germany, was among the lucky ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ecuador and Germany played in Group E.<\/strong> Ecuador won 2-1<\/strong><\/a>, defeating a team of Germany’s stature for the first time in their history. Ecuador’s victory was a comeback, as they conceded an early first goal but quickly recovered to win a very difficult and important match.<\/p>\n

In the parallel game, C\u00f4te d’Ivoire predictably defeated Cura\u00e7ao with a score of 2:0<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite their defeat in the final round, the Germans held onto first place in Group E and advanced to the round of 32. The “elephants” from C\u00f4te d’Ivoire finished second, also advancing to the next round. Ecuador finished third. Their historic victory over Germany allowed the Ecuadorians to earn four points, enough to advance to the playoffs.<\/p>\n

In Group D,<\/strong> the tournament hosts, the United States, lost their final match to Turkey 3-2<\/strong><\/a> but still took first place. Second place went to Australia, which, thanks to a superior goal difference, edged out Paraguay. The teams tied 0-0<\/strong><\/a>. This is the order in which they advance to the knockout rounds. Turkey, despite its victory over the United States, is eliminated from the tournament. It’s as if the Janissaries have slammed the door.<\/p>\n
