Germany and Ecuador level 1-1 at halftime in World Cup group match
What's new: Leroy Sane scored in the second minute before Jhon Yeboah Angulo equalized in the ninth at New York New Jersey Stadium.
Germany and Ecuador were tied 1-1 at halftime Thursday in a World Cup Group E match at New York New Jersey Stadium after an early burst of scoring from both sides. Leroy Sane put Germany ahead in the second minute, and calls to review the buildup for a possible foul by Aleksandar Pavlovic were waved away. Ecuador answered quickly when Jhon Yeboah Angulo leveled in the ninth minute, keeping alive its hopes of reaching the knockout stage with a win. The first half then turned more physical, with Piero Hincapie booked and Pavlovic also shown a yellow card before the break.
