Joy for Germany as Ronaldo-less Portugal win in Denmark

Germany attacked the Serbia goal in ​waves but it took until the 39th minute to take the lead as Florian Wirtz picked out ​Tom Bischof to score his first senior national team goal in his second cap.

After Nick ⁠Woltemade missed a sitter at the back post, Wirtz scored the second just past the hour-mark with a neat ​finish from the edge of the box. There will be relief for Klopp to get a win at the third attempt ​on his return to coaching, and his side were full value for their victory.

"We played great against the ball and played wonderful football with the ball. I am really happy. This performance must now be the baseline," he said.

Greece were close to making it three wins ​from three but conceded a late equaliser at home to the Netherlands. Fotis Ioannidis and Georgios Masouras scored first-half goals ​for the home side, before Virgil van Dijk halved the deficit just before the hour-mark.

The visitors kept pushing for the goal and ‌it arrived ⁠a minute from the end via Tijjani Reijnders. FOUR-STAR PORTUGALPortugal, playing their first game since Ronaldo walked out on the squad, putting his international future into doubt, were made to work for their 4-2 win in Denmark as they top A4 with a perfect nine points from their three games.

The visitors scored twice in the first half through Joao Cancelo and Goncalo ​Ramos, but on each occasion ​the Danes found an ⁠equaliser as Mikkel Damsgaard and Rasmus Hojlund netted for the hosts.

But Portugal would not be denied and Vitinha grabbed a 67th-minute goal and Joao Felix a late fourth to give ​Jorge Jesus’ side a six-point lead in the table after what has been a ​difficult few days. Dan ⁠James and Neco Williams scored for Wales as they beat 10-man Norway 2-1 to earn their first points of the campaign.

In League B, the clash between Ireland and Austria in Dublin was stopped briefly when tennis balls were thrown onto the pitch in ⁠protest ​at the Irish side playing Israel in their previous fixture. Play soon resumed ​and Ireland were held to a 2-2 draw as a pair of goals from Troy Parrott was not enough for the win.

Ireland's next game is ​a 'home' clash against Israel that will be played behind closed doors in neutral Serbia.
