Nations League
Bosnia v Germany – LIVE from 20:45
Germany have recorded their second win in their third game in the Nations League. In the 2:1 (2:0) win against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica on Friday, Stuttgart's Deniz Undav was the match-winner for the Germans with his brace (30th, 36th) in the first half to successfully defend their lead at the top of the table.
The Netherlands only managed a 1:1 (0:1) in the parallel match in Hungary. The clash between Germany and the Netherlands will take place in Munich on Monday.
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann was forced to withdraw a number of injured players. He opted for debutant Alexander Nübel in goal, while Tim Kleindienst was also a newcomer in attack. The Bosnians, who started with Sturm's Jusuf Gazibegovic but without the injured Salzburg player Amar Dedic, started ambitiously and the visitors initially had problems. Germany proved to be much more efficient in this phase. Undav took the lead after preparatory work from Florian Wirtz and added a decisive goal minutes later.
After that, Germany controlled the game. A third goal by Undav after just under an hour of play was disallowed after a VAR review, as Kleindienst was offside. It was thanks to veteran Edin Dzeko, who scored with his head from a corner kick (70'), that things got exciting again. Defensively, however, Germany hardly allowed anything to happen.
Netherlands score while short-handed to secure a point
The Dutch had possession of the ball for long periods in Budapest, but were unable to capitalize on it. Roland Sallai, who had suffered a slight injury before the game, scored after a quarter of an hour from a corner kick before scoring the acclaimed 1:0 (32') after Hungary won the ball in midfield. Hungary goalkeeper Denes Dibusz was then at the heart of the action several times, but the home side with Rapid right-back Bendeguz Bolla defended the lead until the end.
Just after captain Virgil van Dijk was sent off with a yellow card (79') for a foul on an onrushing opponent, the Oranje struck. Denzel Dumfries (83') volleyed a free-kick from Cody Gakpo into the net. Hungary then threw everything forward once more in vain.
The League B match between Ukraine and Georgia was played with Austrian participation. The red-white-red refereeing team in Poznan, Poland, was led by Julian Weinberger. Chelsea star Mychajlo Mudryk (35) scored the decisive goal for the Ukrainians.
