Gakpo Denies Klopp Debut Germany Win in Nations League Thriller

Cody Gakpo scored a late equaliser for the Netherlands, preventing Jurgen Klopp from securing a win in his first match as Germany manager. Elsewhere, Erling Haaland netted twice for Norway in their 3-2 victory over Denmark.

  • Cody Gakpo scored a spectacular volley in stoppage time for the Netherlands against Germany.
  • The goal denied Jurgen Klopp a debut win as Germany's manager.
  • Erling Haaland scored two goals, including a 74th-minute winner, in Norway's 3-2 victory over Denmark.

Cody Gakpo, a former player under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool, struck a spectacular volley in stoppage time to secure a point for the Netherlands against Germany. This late equaliser denied Klopp a winning start in his inaugural game as Germany's manager in an intense Nations League encounter at the Johan Cruyff Arena.

Felix Nmecha had initially put Germany ahead with what appeared to be the decisive goal. The match also saw controversy with a disallowed Virgil van Dijk goal, and hamstring injuries for Germany's Kai Havertz and Dutch striker Brian Brobbey.

In other Nations League action, Erling Haaland was instrumental in Norway's 3-2 win over Denmark, scoring twice. Oscar Bobb opened the scoring for Norway, with Haaland doubling their lead early on. Despite Denmark's Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Hojlund bringing the score level, Haaland sealed the victory with a 74th-minute winner. Norway finished the game with ten men after David Moller Wolfe received a second yellow card.

Elsewhere, Portugal secured a 1-0 win against Wales, with Joao Felix scoring the only goal, though Cristiano Ronaldo had a goal disallowed for offside. The Republic of Ireland suffered a 1-0 defeat to Kosovo.
