Late Gakpo strike denies Klopp winning start as Germany manager
Jürgen Klopp took charge of Germany for the first time but was denied victory by a late Cody Gakpo goal for the Netherlands. The match appeared set for a Germany win before Gakpo's late intervention rescued a draw for the Dutch. The result marks Klopp's first match in the Germany dugout following his appointment as national team head coach after his departure from club management. The draw leaves both sides with a point in their Nations League campaign.
Read the full story at skysports.comKlopp's bow on the Germany bench carried enormous intrigue, and the late concession will sting — but a draw away to the Netherlands is hardly a setback. Gakpo's intervention underlines his continued importance to the Dutch attack and offers Ronald Koeman's side a measure of resilience heading into the next set of fixtures. For Germany, the Klopp era begins with a platform to build on rather than a crisis to manage.
