Greece hand Klopp first defeat as Germany manager

Jurgen Klopp, the newly appointed Germany manager, suffered his first loss as head coach when his team conceded a solitary goal to Greece in an Augsburg encounter. The sole goal was scored by Dimitrios Kourbelis in the 74th minute following a counterattack. Klopp's side showed little attacking flair and appeared fatigued compared to their debut performance against the Netherlands.

Germany struggled to break through Greece's defense during the first half, but managed a breakthrough after the interval, with Kourbelis scoring a deflected goal. The outcome marked Greece's first victory over Germany, who had lost seven matches and drawn three games against them since 1960. Klopp expressed indifference to the loss, emphasizing the importance of learning from these matches.

Germany's players, including captain Joshua Kimmich and centre-back Jonathan Tah, acknowledged the challenge ahead in revitalizing the struggling national team.
