Ecuador's boss Sebastian Beccacece faced pressure to win against Germany to keep his job, describing the task as making 'the impossible possible'.
Ecuador boss Sebastian Beccacece said before his side’s must-win clash with Germany that he expected to lose his job if they did not make “the impossible possible”.
A remarkable performance in New Jersey means he doesn’t need to worry about polishing his CV just yet, and can rather turn his attention to a potential clash with England in the last 32 after a nail-biting triumph at MetLife Stadium, where fans were reduced to tears long before the final whistle confirmed a 2-1 win.
Curacao, meanwhile, are heading home after their fairy tale run was ended by Ivory Coast, whose 2-0 victory sealed their runners-up spot in Group F behind Germany.
Two more games start at 7am, with the fight to finish top of Group F the main attraction to the clashes between Netherlands and Tunisia, and Japan against Sweden.
Later on, the United States will look to maintain their 100 per cent record against Turkey, while their Group D rivals Paraguay take on Australia. But until then, here’s a quick look at what happened overnight.
