Germany are firmly in control 5-1 against Curaçao, the Dutch Caribbean island and the smallest country ever to compete at the World Cup, after conceding a goal in the 21st minute, Curaçao's first-ever FIFA World Cup goal.
The strike came in the 21st minute of the first half following Die Mannschaft's sixth-minute opener.
Curacao, the island nation of 150,000 people, is currently trailing behind the German machines 1-5 in the Group E football match being played in Houston.
Their historic goal came following a Curaçao attack: a shot by Livano Comenencia which was deflected off a German defender and past the helpless Manuel Neuer.
The goal sent Curaçao fans and supporters inside Houston Stadium in wild jubilation, a feat that would be etched in the history of the small island nation's football.
However, by half-time, the German machines had gone 3-1 up after goals by Nico Schlotterbeck, who nodded Germany back in front, and Kai Havertz's penalty kick.
Germany's Jamal Musiala added a fourth two minutes into the second period before Nathaniel Brown and Deniz Undav added theirs to make it 6-1 to the overwhelming favourites by the 80th minute.
Germany has won four World Cups: in 1954, 1974, 1990 and 2014 – with their last opening match victory being twelve years ago. Only Brazil has been more successful in the FIFA World Cups, scooping five titles.
