UEFA Nations League group stage matches

Overview

The UEFA Nations League group stage continues with several key results. In Group A2, the Netherlands secured a 2-1 away victory against Serbia in Belgrade. Mexx Meerdink, making his first start for the national team, led the Dutch side with both goals in the 30th and 69th minutes. Meerdink’s performance marks a milestone as the first Dutch player since 2006 to score twice in his first start. This win marks the first victory for head coach Xavi Hernández, following a previous draw against Germany, and places the Netherlands at the top of Group A2 with four points.

The Dutch squad faces significant injury concerns; Cody Gakpo was forced to leave the pitch in the 17th minute due to an ankle injury, being replaced by Ruben van Bommel. This adds to the absences of Brian Brobbey and Lutsharel Geertruida. Serbia, which remains without points following two consecutive losses, saw Luka Jović equalize in the 47th minute shortly after entering the match as a substitute.

In Group A4, Denmark defeated Wales 2-0 at Parken Stadium. The scoring opened in the 53rd minute when a Mikkel Damsgaard free kick resulted in an own goal by Wales captain Ben Davies. Denmark doubled their lead in the 66th minute via Gustav Isaksen, following a deflection after a set piece. A previous Isaksen goal was disallowed by VAR due to an offside involving Rasmus Højlund. This result allows Denmark to recover from a previous loss to Norway, bringing their group total to three points. Denmark also noted an injury to Patrick Dorgu during the match. In Group B3, Austria secured a 3-1 home win against Kosovo. Austrian coach Ralf Rangnick praised his team’s energetic performance following their previous win against Israel. In another fixture, Portugal defeated Norway 2-1 at Ullevaal Stadion.
