Nations League: Germany draws with Greece, Poland is waiting for a match with Sweden

League of Nations: Germany welcoming the Greeks

After a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in Amsterdam on Thursday, in the debut of the coaches of the hosts, Xavi Hernandez, and the guests, Juergen Klopp, the Germans this time played with a partially experimental lineup. Either way, the result of the match against Greece, which is only 46th in the world ranking, may be a cause for concern for the former coach of Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund.

The only goal was scored in the 74th minute by Dimitrios Kourbelis. Even the introduction of Florian Wirtz or Serge Gnabry did not help the hosts.

Szymon Marciniak refereed the Serbs and the Dutch

Earlier in this group (A2), the Netherlands defeated Serbia 2-1 in Belgrade in a match refereed by Szymon Marciniak. The victory for the "Orange" was given to Mexx Meerding, who played his second match in his career for this national team, and his first in the starting lineup.

The 23-year-old AZ Alkmaar striker scored both goals (in the 30th minute from the penalty spot and in the 69th minute), and in the first minute of the second half Luka Jović scored for the hosts, who appeared on the pitch just after the break, replacing Dejan Joveljić.

Greece leads the table with all points, followed by the Netherlands - 4, Germany - 1 and Serbia - 0.

Haaland shoots, Ronaldo watches

Portugal, with Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench, defeated Norway 2-1 in Oslo. Home team striker Erling Haaland scored his 65th goal in his 57th appearance for the national team.

In Group A4, there could have been a clash between Haaland and Ronaldo, but the experienced Portuguese did not leave the bench that day. The Norwegian "did his job" by scoring a goal in the 51st minute, but his defensive teammates did not help him. After an error by goalkeeper Oerjan Nyland, Goncalo Ramos (54th) decided the winner, and earlier Joao Felix (17th) also scored.

In the second match of Group A4, Denmark won at home against Wales 2-0 and has three points, just like Norway. Portugal leads the pack - 6, followed by Wales with two defeats.

Israel crushed by Ireland

Group B3 matches were also played that day, in which Austria defeated Kosovo 3-1 at home and remained in the lead in the table, while Israel, as the host in Debrecen, lost to Ireland 0-3.

In Group 2 of the lowest D division, there was a match with a "Polish accent": Lithuania drew at home with Azerbaijan 1-1, and the goal for the guests was scored by Raków Częstochowa player Mahir Emreli.

Today's match is Sweden - Poland

On Monday, the Polish national team will play the second match in group B4, which drew goalless with Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday in Warsaw.
