Ecuador vs Germany Head-to-Head Record
Germany have won the teams' two previous meaningful meetings: a 3–0 group stage victory at the 2006 FIFA World Cup and a 4–2 result in a 2013 friendly. The competitive record strongly favours Germany, and nothing in recent history suggests Ecuador have found a formula to trouble them. Ecuador's only realistic path to a goal today runs through captain Enner Valencia — 36 years old with 49 international goals and over 100 caps — who has been goalless through both group matches. Germany have conceded zero goals in the tournament so far. Groups heading up to MetLife from the DC–Baltimore corridor for future knockout rounds can book a 26-passenger party bus for a full group departure — Bayside runs flat-rate charter service to MetLife Stadium and back.
