Jürgen Klopp finally picked up his first win as Germany head coach at the third attempt as goals from Bayern Munich's Tom Bischof and Liverpool's Florian Wirtz sealed a comfortable UEFA Nations League win over Serbia at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
Germany 2-0 Serbia
Goals: 1-0 Bischof 39’, 2-0 Wirtz 61’ (assist: Mittelstädt)
Germany were dominant from the off in Munich, and nearly struck inside the first ten minutes when Aleksandar Pavlović fired just wide from a Philipp Treu knockdown. Captain on the night, Serge Gnabry, then missed two good chances for the opener as Serbia’s Djordje Petrović became increasingly involved. Bischof finally struck the opener shortly before the interval, blasting home after Wirtz had struck the post.
Germany’s dominance continued after the interval, and Nick Woltemade should have added a second just before the hour mark after being found by a perfect cross from Treu, but he could only blaze over from close range. Luckily for him, Wirtz doubled Germany’s lead just two minutes later, taking in Maximilian Mittelstädt’s pass perfectly before slotting home the goal that sealed a comfortable win.
As it happened!
