Germany ended their World Cup opening-match curse in style, beating Curacao 7-1 in a thrilling game. The match took place at the Khalifa International Stadium in Doha. The Germans showed their strength right from the start, dominating the game with their attack and smart play.

Germany took charge of the match immediately, scoring goals rapidly. Kai Havertz netted the first goal in the 12th minute, setting a confident tone for the game. Curacao found it hard to stop the strong German offense, and soon the score began to reflect Germany's control.

The Germans kept up the pressure, with goals from Leroy Sane, Thomas Muller, and Ilkay Gundogan. Each goal added to the impressive score. Curacao did manage to score one goal, but it was just a small consolation as Germany quickly answered with more goals, securing a historic win.

This victory is a big change for Germany, who had received criticism for their past World Cup games. Scoring seven goals in their opening match boosts the team's confidence. It also sends a clear message to their opponents in the tournament. With this strong performance, Germany looks ready to go far in the competition as they aim to reclaim their status as one of the best football nations in the world.
