Germany 0-2 South Korea — Russia 2018

Germany's 2–0 loss to an already-eliminated South Korea in 2018 made them the first defending champion eliminated in the group stage since 1934. Both goals came in stoppage time (Kim Young-gwon in the 93rd minute and Son Heung-min in the 96minute), shocking the football world. This elimination outperforms #5 Argentina vs. Cameroon in historical weight, as Germany's exit was the earliest by a defending champion in 80 years. Germany attempted 24 shots with only 6 on target, a 25% conversion rate that falls below the team's 10-year average of 35%.
