Netherlands Thrashes Greece 7-0, Germany Defeats Serbia in UEFA Nations League

The Netherlands delivered a dominant 7-0 statement victory over Greece in Amsterdam, maintaining an undefeated run under new manager Xavi Hernandez in UEFA Nations League play. Tijjani Reijnders led the offensive explosion with a hat trick, scoring three goals across a 21-minute span, while Jurrien Timber added two goals. Crysencio Summerville opened the scoring in the sixth minute, and Donyell Malen capped the 7-0 rout with the final tally against the outmatched Greek defense.

Meanwhile, Germany cruised to a 3-1 win against Serbia under manager Jürgen Klopp in a match played in driving rain at the Rajko Mitic stadium, which was largely empty due to a UEFA disciplinary sanction on the Serbian federation. An early own goal by Srdjan Babic put Germany ahead, followed by a flicked finish from Florian Wirtz and a brilliant solo scoring run by debutant Brajan Gruda. Although Babic scored for Serbia later in the match, any hopes of a Serbian comeback were dashed when Vanja Dragojevic received a red card for a reckless challenge on Joshua Kimmich.

The results establish a high-stakes showdown in Berlin on Monday, where group leaders the Netherlands will face second-place Germany, trailing by three points, to decide the top spot in Group A2. Both powerhouse squads, alongside Greece, remain in contention to advance to the quarterfinals under head-to-head tiebreaker rules, while Serbia sits at the bottom of the group standings.
