Ecuador President Declares Public Holiday After Come-From-Behind Win Over Germany

Ecuador president Daniel Noboa declared Friday a public holiday following the national team's come-from-behind victory against Germany at the World Cup. The declaration reflects the scale of the result for the country, with Ecuador overturning a deficit to beat one of football's traditional powerhouses. Ecuador beating Germany at a World Cup is a result of genuine significance — a South American nation overcoming a four-time world champion in a come-from-behind fashion.
