With the game effectively in hand, Germany keep pressing and add further goals to complete a comprehensive win. The result places Germany on strong footing in Group E, while Curaçao suffer a heavy defeat in their first World Cup match. Both reports describe a one-sided contest marked by Germany’s early breakthrough, a second key goal just before the break, and sustained attacking pressure throughout.
