Germany secured their first victory under Jürgen Klopp in the UEFA Nations League by defeating Serbia 2-0. The standout performer was Florian Wirtz, who played a crucial role in both goals.
In the 39th minute, following a powerful strike from the midfielder that hit the post, Timothy Tillman was quickest to react and slotted the rebound into the net, giving Germany the lead.
The final score was sealed by Wirtz himself in the 61st minute. After a pass from Jonas Hofmann, the midfielder skillfully controlled the ball with a backheel before firing past the goalkeeper.
