Greece secured a historic victory by defeating four-time world champions Germany 1–0 in a Nations League fixture, claiming their first-ever win against the Die Mannschaft in their 11th meeting dating back to 1960.
Playing in Augsburg, Germany dominated possession and attacking momentum from the outset.
Despite launching waves of attacks toward the goal, they failed to break through Greece’s resilient defense.
Greece recorded only a single shot on target during the entire match, but it proved to be the game-winner.
The decisive goal came from Christos Tzolis. The winger slipped past Josha Vagnoman on the right flank and passed to Kourbelis.
Tzolis then bypassed Felix Nmecha before firing a low shot. His effort deflected off German captain Joshua Kimmich and settled into the back of the net.
Germany pressed desperately for an equalizer, but the Greek defense held firm, sealing a famous 1–0 triumph.
Tough Start for Jürgen Kloop
The defeat deepens a difficult start for Jürgen Kloop since taking over the German national team.
The German coach has failed to win his first two matches at the helm, following a 1–1 draw against the Netherlands after taking the lead in their previous outing. Germany was left stunned by the loss on home soil.
Group Standings
With this victory, Greece sits atop Group A-2 with a maximum of 6 points from two matches. The Netherlands holds second place with 4 points after a 1–0 win over Serbia on the same night, while Germany drops to third place with 1 point.
