Germany's national soccer team loses to Greece for the first time... No wins in 2 games since Klopp took office

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jin-nam = The 'Tank Army' German national soccer team suffered its first ever loss to Greece, failing to win for the second game under coach Jurgen Klopp.

Germany lost 0-1 to Greece in the second leg of the 2026-2027 UEFA Nations League League A Group 2 home game held at the WWK Arena in Augsburg, Germany on the morning of the 28th (Korean time).

It was Germany that dominated the game, but in the 29th minute of the second half, Greece's Dimitrios Kourbelis shot the ball with his left foot from the front of the penalty area, deflected off Jojua Kimmich and entered the goal, splitting the lives of both teams.

This is the first time Greece has won a national team match against Germany.

Greece had faced Germany 10 times before today's game, recording 3 draws and 7 losses.

Coach Klopp, who led Liverpool in the English Premier League, was appointed as Germany's head coach last July after the 2026 North and Central America World Cup, but has not yet tasted victory.

Germany drew 1-1 in the first leg away against the Netherlands on the 25th, Klopp's debut match as manager.

On the other hand, Greece took the lead in the group with two consecutive wins after beating Serbia 2-1 in the first game.

Unlike Klopp, Xavi Hernández (Spain), the new head coach of the Netherlands, who is in the same group, laughed.

Coach Xavi, who took charge of the Netherlands after the North and Central America World Cup and was unable to decide the winner in the game against Germany led by Coach Klopp, led the team to a 2-1 victory in Serbia that day.

Max Meirdinck scored twice to give coach Xavi his first win.

After scoring the first goal with a penalty kick in the 30th minute of the first half, Mayrdink scored the first goal in the 30th minute of the first half, and when Serbia balanced the score with Luka Jovic's equalizer one minute into the second half, he scored again in the 14th minute of the second half to tie the game.

However, the Netherlands faced bad news when striker Cody Hakpo was injured.

Portugal, in Group 4, won 2-1 in its away game against Norway and took the lead with two consecutive wins.

Following Joao Felix's first goal in the 17th minute of the first half, the score was 1-1, but Gonzalo Hamus' wonderful lob shot in the 9th minute of the second half brought Norway to its knees.

Norway finished the first half scoreless thanks to a save by Portuguese goalkeeper Diogo Costa, but Erling Haaland scored an equalizer in the 6th minute of the second half, but eventually suffered its first loss of the tournament.

Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo was included in the substitute list, but only stayed on the bench.

In the same group, Denmark invited Wales to their home and won 2-0 thanks to an own goal from opposing defender Ben Davis and an additional goal from Gustav Isaksen.
