Summary
Germany named an unchanged starting XI for Saturday's World Cup Group E match in Toronto, with Kai Havertz again leading the attack.
Havertz kept his place after scoring twice in Germany's 2-0 opening win over Curacao on June 14, signaling coach Julian Nagelsmann stuck with the same formula.
Ivory Coast made the key change, promoting Amad Diallo to the starting lineup after he came off the bench to score the winner against Ecuador.
Toronto Stadium hosts a meeting of opening-match winners, with Ivory Coast also starting Odilon Kossounou, Ibrahim Sangare, Christ Inao Oulai and Ange-Yoan Bonny.
