Germany beats Serbia 2-0 – first win under national coach Jürgen Klopp

Germany – Serbia 2:0 (1:0)

The German national team prevailed against Serbia in Munich. After a comprehensive starting eleven rotation, the German team defeated the weak Serbs 2-0 (1-0). It is the first victory with new national coach Jürgen Klopp. The team still has the quarter-finals in Group A2 of the Nations League in their own hands.

Tom Bischof (39th) and Florian Wirtz (61st) scored the goals for the four-time world champions. Debutant Mika Baur went down in DFB history as the 1,000th national player.

After the shift change to his second squad without established players such as captain Joshua Kimmich or defense chief Jonathan Tah, the DFB head coach started with a completely new starting eleven. The young midfield in particular with Bischof (21 years old), Wirtz (23) and Aleksandar Pavlović (22) showed Klopp-branded power football. For the first time in seven international matches, goalkeeping hopeful Jonas Urbig made his DFB debut with a clean sheet.

The doubts about a quick Klopp effect to restart the DFB selection after the World Cup disaster have been dispelled by the first ray of hope. The system really worked for the first time in the third game. For the 59-year-old, the victory in front of 68,121 spectators was a relief. The fans celebrated the first Klopp party in black, red and gold.

Weak start in the Nations League

On the debut of their new national coach Jürgen Klopp, the German national football team missed out on a victory despite being in the lead for a long time. At the start of the Nations League, the DFB team in Amsterdam against the Netherlands on September 24th couldn't get past a 1-1 (1-0) draw.

Jürgen Klopp also didn't win his second game as national coach with the new team. Germany lost the Nations League match against Greece 0-1 in Augsburg on Sunday. The German team's next opponent will be the Greeks again on Sunday in Thessaloniki.
