Kai Havertz scored two goals as Germany overcame a brief scare from World Cup debutants Curacao before cruising to an emphatic 7-1 win in their group E opener in Houston.
Livano Comenencia levelled the game 1-1 with a left-footed strike in the 21st minute to give Curacao their first goal in the tournament and send fans of the tiny Caribbean nation into a frenzy.
But it was all Germany after that with the four-time champions regaining the lead on Nico Schlotterbeck's header off Nathaniel Brown's corner kick in the 38th minute.
