NATIONS LEAGUE RESULTS: Portugal win in Denmark, Klopp gets first Germany win
There was late drama as the UEFA Nations League delivered high-scoring games and key victories.
Jurgen Klopp, the new Germany coach, secured his first victory with a 2-0 win against Serbia in Munich on Thursday. The match marked Klopp's first win since taking charge, ending a series of disappointing results including a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and a shock 1-0 defeat to Greece. Liverpool's Florian Wirtz and Bayern Munich's Tom Bischof scored the goals, with Wirtz also scoring the second one.
The youthful German team, which included three debutants, demonstrated a significant improvement over their previous performance. Lithuania's Aleksandar Pavlovic, Serge Gnabry and Bischof had chances in the first half, while Serbia managed only one dangerous attack. Wirtz's goal, scored after some elegant footwork, was followed by Bischof's rebound goal.
Klopp praised Wirtz's form, noting that his recent club struggles in England had raised concerns. The win provided a boost for the Germany team as they aim to regain their place among the international elite.
