L’Equipe player ratings Ecuador vs Germany World Cup 2026
The French newspaper had Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie as one of the poorer performers on the evening, giving him a 4/10 rating. His Gunners team mate Kai Havertz didn’t fare any better in L’Equipe’s eyes either- he got a 4/10 too. Liverpool’s Florian Wirtz got a 6/10 while Chelsea’s Caicedo was given a 7/10 by the paper.

(Note- German rating system, so 6 very bad and 1 very good)
No German starter got the very bad 6 player rating from German paper Bild, but Havertz was one of several players given a 5. No Ecuadorean player got the very good 1 rating, but Caicedo came close with a 2. Hincapie got a 4.
Diario AS player ratings ECU 2-1 GER WC 2026
Finally we come to Spanish newspaper Diario AS, who thought several of Die Mannschaft’s starters, including Havertz, didn’t warrant a rating at all. Left back Hincapie was the worst rated Ecuador player against Germany with a single star rating from the paper, while they liked Chelsea star Caicedo’s performance in the centre of the park- he got 3 stars.
