Curacao’s unlikely hero stuns Germany after two scoreless seasons
Livano Comenencia became Curacao’s unlikely hero in its World Cup match against Germany, scoring the dramatic equalizer for the Caribbean side. The article says many viewers may not even remember his name from the game, despite his decisive role.
Comenencia, a midfielder/defender, shocked not only the football world but apparently himself, because he had gone two full seasons without scoring or assisting. The piece notes that in the current season in Zurich, he has made 25 appearances without any goal contributions.
His previous campaign was no better in that regard. In 2024/25, he recorded zero goals and zero assists with Juventus Next Gen, Juventus’ reserve side.
That makes the timing of his breakthrough especially striking, as he ended a two-year drought on one of the biggest stages possible. The match is framed as part of the 2026 World Cup.
