Klopp All Smiles After Germany Debut, Haaland Keeps Scoring in Nations League
Cody Gakpo equalized in stoppage time after Felix Nmecha’s opener, and Germany’s debut under Jürgen Klopp ended with one point.
- On Thursday, Cody Gakpo volleyed a 92nd-minute equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw for the Netherlands against Germany at the Johan Cruyff Arena, denying Jürgen Klopp, Germany coach, a winning debut.
- This Nations League opener marked managerial debuts for Klopp and Netherlands coach Xavi Hernandez, with both nations rebuilding after disappointing 2026 World Cup early exits.
- Felix Nmecha scored Germany's 32nd-minute opener amid Dutch frustration after play continued with injured Brian Brobbey, while Germany also lost Kai Havertz and Jamal Musiala to fitness issues.
- Despite the late defensive lapse, Klopp acknowledged the exhausting contest, stating, "I was very, very, very pleased with a lot of the individual performances." He accepted the draw despite wanting victory.
- To evaluate depth, Klopp continues his rotational strategy using a 44-man group across four Nations League matches, with Germany set to face Greece in Augsburg on September 27.
