Greece holds Germany to 0-0 draw in Nations League
In UEFA Nations League Group A2 action, Greece secured a 0-0 draw against Germany at Toumba Stadium, maintaining their unbeaten streak and moving closer to the quarter-finals. Despite Germany controlling over 70% possession and registering numerous shots, the Greek defense and goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis remained resolute. A significant moment occurred in the 32nd minute when a goal by Germany's Jonathan Burkardt was disallowed by VAR due to a handball in the buildup.
The result leaves Germany in a difficult position, sitting third in the group with five points, trailing both Greece and the Netherlands, who both hold eight points. Germany's head coach, Jurgen Klopp, faces scrutiny from international media regarding his team's lack of clinical finishing, having secured only one victory in his first four matches.
In other Group A2 results, the Netherlands defeated Serbia 2-1 to stay at the top of the standings. In Group D, Portugal secured a 2-1 victory over Norway, with goals from Joao Cancelo and Goncalo Ramos, while Denmark beat Wales 1-0 thanks to a Rasmus Hojlund penalty.
