Ecuador regains parity. The South American team took advantage of the opportunity in the second half and scored the winning goal. In the end, Ecuador left the field with a 2-1 victory.

The Ecuadorian government has described this victory as a moment of national pride. It has declared a holiday for public and private sector workers and said that this success is a symbol of unity and joy for the entire nation.
The country's President Daniel Noboa was present at the field to enjoy the match. After the victory was confirmed, he thanked the players and coaching staff and praised them for bringing joy to the country through difficult times.
According to football analysts, this victory against Germany will greatly increase the confidence of the Ecuadorian team. If they can maintain the same rhythm in the knockout stages, they can pull off even bigger surprises in the World Cup.
