Klopp's Germany beat Serbia 2-0 for first win at third try, then draw
Post
📰 Jürgen Klopp finally has his first win as Germany manager.
📌 Key points
🏟️ Germany beat Serbia 2-0 at the Allianz Arena on 1 October.
⚽ Tom Bischof scored his first international goal on 39 minutes.
🎯 Florian Wirtz added the second just after the hour.
📉 Klopp's reign began with a 1-1 draw and a 1-0 home loss to Greece.
🗓️ Germany then drew 0-0 in Greece on 4 October.
📝 What happened
⚽ Bischof, the Bayern Munich midfielder, followed up after Wirtz hit the post to score on his first Germany start. Wirtz made it 2-0 on 61 minutes from Maximilian Mittelstädt's pass.
📉 Klopp's start had been rocky: a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands in the Group A2 opener and a shock 1-0 defeat to Greece in Augsburg. Germany went out of the 2026 World Cup in the round of 32 to Paraguay, and this was their first win since.
🗣️ "That's how we want to play," Klopp said afterwards. Celtic's Mika Baur also came on to become Germany's 1,000th men's international.
🔁 The momentum did not last: Germany were held 0-0 by group leaders Greece in Thessaloniki on 4 October.
📊 By the numbers
• Germany 2-0 Serbia (Bischof 39', Wirtz 61')
• Klopp's record after four games: W1 D2 L1
• Mika Baur: Germany's 1,000th player
🔭 Why it matters
The win spared Klopp an unwanted record, but the draw in Greece leaves Germany chasing the group leaders with two games left.
