Germany cruised to victory in Serbia.

Jürgen Klopp’s team quickly dispatched the “Plavi” (who had Jović and Živković on the bench) with a 3-1 victory.

Before the first quarter of the game was even over, the “Nationalmannschaft” had already sealed the victory:

Thanks to an own goal by Babic in the 3rd minute and a goal by Wirz (who put the ball in the net after a save by Milinković-Savić) in the 14th minute.

So, after Grunda definitively sealed the three points (with an individual effort and a shot in the 50th minute) and given that our national team had already suffered a crushing defeat by halftime in the Netherlands (so they now have the advantage in goal difference), the Germans took their foot off the gas.

However, all Serbia managed to do was cut the deficit with a goal by Babic (56’), before being reduced to ten men in the 77th minute due to Drakojevic’s red card.

Shortly before the end, Zivkovic (who had come on as a substitute) was also sent off, so he will miss Monday’s match against Greece in Volos.

In that match, the result won’t matter to the Germans if they defeat the Netherlands (who are now out of contention), since in that case they will secure second place.

The situation at the top of Group 1 of League B of the Nations League has been definitively settled, with Switzerland securing direct promotion to League A, one matchday before the end of the group stage.

The Swiss drew 0-0 with Slovenia on the road and moved up to 13 points, while the Slovenians remained on 8 points with just one match remaining.

Meanwhile, Scotland defeated North Macedonia 2-1, with McGinn scoring twice and Panathinaikos’s Rastoder netting a goal.

As a result, Scotland moved up to 7 points and remained in contention for second place, which leads to the promotion playoffs; however, they will face Switzerland on the road in their final match.

In Group C, Iceland’s impressive 5-0 away victory over Bulgaria stood out. Slovakia was unable to secure a victory against the Faroe Islands, settling for a 2-2 draw, while Moldova defeated Kazakhstan 2-1. Finally, Estonia won 1-0 on the road against Luxembourg.
