BELGRADE - Germany beat Serbia 3-1 in Belgrade on Friday, a result that sets up a Nations League meeting with the Netherlands in Berlin on Monday, according to a report from The Guardian. The Guardian said the Monday match will decide who tops Group A2.
The Guardian reported that Florian Wirtz scored for Germany. It also said the Germans forced Serbia's Srdan Babic into an early own goal. The summary did not give the minute of either goal.
The Guardian said the match was played in "teeming rain" in an almost empty stadium. The summary did not give an attendance figure or the full lineups.
In a separate match, The Guardian reported that the Netherlands beat Greece, with Tijjani Reijnders scoring a hat-trick. The summary did not give the score of that game or say where either team now stands in the Group A2 table.
