Germany's attacking midfielder, Nadiem Amiri, came off the bench to deliver a crucial assist, sparking a 2-1 comeback victory over Ivory Coast. Now, he's hoping his impactful moment wasn't just a flash in the pan at the World Cup.
The 29-year-old Mainz 05 player set up Deniz Undav, who canceled out the Africans' 1-0 lead. Germany went on to win the match, securing top spot in Group E and a place in the knockout stages before their final group game against Ecuador on Thursday.
“I think every player wants to start a tournament well. I wasn't disappointed not to play against Curaçao. I don't need many minutes to get into the game, and the match against Ivory Coast was the perfect example. It was a huge moment for me,” Amiri stated at a press conference.
Germany has already qualified, but Amiri emphasized that the match against Ecuador will be treated like a final for the team, eager to maintain their winning momentum after securing victories in their last 11 international matches.
