KEY POINTS

  • Germany beat Serbia 2-0 in Munich for Klopp's first win as coach
  • Bischof (39') and Wirtz (61') scored the goals
  • Mika Baur became the 1,000th Germany international
  • Entirely new starting XI fielded without Kimmich or Tah
  • Urbig kept first clean sheet in seven matches on debut

Germany secured a 2-0 victory over Serbia in Munich, handing Jürgen Klopp his first win as national team coach. Debutant Tom Bischof opened the scoring in the 39th minute before Florian Wirtz added a second in the 61st. The match marked Mika Baur's appearance as the 1,000th Germany international.

Klopp fielded an entirely new starting eleven without established players such as Joshua Kimmich and Jonathan Tah. The youthful midfield trio of Bischof, Wirtz, and Aleksandar Pavlovic implemented the high-intensity style associated with the 59-year-old coach. Goalkeeper Jonas Urbig kept a clean sheet on debut, the first for Germany in seven matches.

“It was incredibly fun. Every single player left everything on the pitch, followed the match plan and did almost everything right.”

— Florian Wirtz

The win eases pressure after the opening 1-0 loss to Greece in the Nations League. Germany now travel to Greece for the return fixture on Sunday with an opportunity to avenge that defeat. The Greeks currently lead the group after drawing 2-2 with the Netherlands.
