Klopp All Smiles After Germany Debut, Haaland Keeps Scoring in Nations League

Gakpo’s stoppage-time volley denied Jurgen Klopp a win in his Germany debut and kept the Nations League opener level.

  • On Thursday, Cody Gakpo volleyed a 92nd-minute equalizer for the Netherlands, forcing a 1-1 draw against Germany at the Johan Cruyff Arena and denying Jurgen Klopp a winning debut as Germany coach.
  • Germany took the lead in the 32nd minute through Felix Nmecha, sparking frustration as the squad continued play while Netherlands striker Brian Brobbey received treatment for a hamstring injury.
  • Klopp's debut was further complicated by injuries; playmaker Jamal Musiala was withdrawn during the warm-up, and forward Kai Havertz was substituted early after a thigh complaint.
  • Both nations entered new eras in this fixture, with Xavi Hernandez leading the Netherlands and Klopp beginning his tenure as Germany's head coach following their respective World Cup exits.
  • To evaluate new talent, Klopp has adopted an unconventional approach by selecting a 44-man squad split across two groups, promising a "new approach" to reinvigorate Germany's flagging fortunes.
