Jürgen Klopp secured his first win as Germany head coach. The national team defeated Serbia 2-0 in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday night at the Allianz Arena in Munich. Goals from Tom Bischof in the 39th minute and Florian Wirtz, assisted by Maximilian Mittelstädt, in the 61st minute sealed the victory.
The Match
Germany was the dominant side from the off, racking up 32 shots in total against Serbia goalkeeper Djordje Petrović, who made six saves. Captain Serge Gnabry and Nick Woltemade missed good chances in the first hour. Tom Bischof, the goalscorer, was also the most active midfielder, making the most tackles in the game. Serbia offered little threat and saw Nemanja Gudelj, Nemanja Maksimović, and coach Veljko Paunovic all receive yellow cards.
The next challenge comes quickly with an away trip to face Greece on Friday. This season's squad list and further stats are available in the squad section.
Jürgen Klopp said afterwards, "Jürgen Klopp finally picked up his first win as Germany head coach at the third attempt." The team was dominant in Munich from the start and could have scored inside the first ten minutes. With three points in the bag, the team now travels to Greece seeking revenge for last Friday's 1-0 defeat. That match takes place on October 4th.
