Germany beats Serbia 2-0 for Klopp's first win
Germany defeated Serbia 2-0, sparing Klopp from becoming the first coach to open with no wins.
Juergen Klopp claimed his first win as Germany coach on Friday, beating Serbia 2-0 in Munich. The victory came after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and a shock 1-0 loss to Greece in his opening two Nations League matches.
Tom Bischof scored the opening goal from a rebound in the 39th minute, before Florian Wirtz added the second. Klopp had been on the verge of becoming the first Germany coach to fail to win any of his first three games.
After the match, he said the performance must now become the baseline for future matches.
