What a night for the Greek national team! The “blue-and-whites” did what they had never done before, defeating Germany 1-0 in Augsburg and securing their first-ever victory against the "Panzers"!
Following the huge “away win” in Belgrade, Ivan Jovanović’s team went 2-0 in the top tier of the Nations League—and did so with two away wins against Serbia and Germany. This time, the hero was Dimitris Kourbelis, who in the 74th minute put his stamp on a historic result.

No one on the national team fell short on this momentous night. Tzolakis was a true “guardian,” making crucial saves, while Mavropanos put in an outstanding performance, winning nearly every duel. And on the bench, Ivan Jovanović read the game exceptionally well, with his substitutions proving decisive and helping Greece manage the final stretch of the match perfectly.
