“Tom Bischof opens the scoring with a left-footed finish from the edge of the six-yard box, curling the ball into the top left corner after Serbia failed to clear their lines.”
Pivotal“Florian Wirtz doubles Germany's lead with a composed right-footed finish from the center of the box, assisted by Maximilian Mittelstädt, capping a spell of sustained pressure.”
Pivotal“Serbia's frustration boils over as manager Veljko Paunović is booked for arguing with officials, moments after Nemanja Maksimovic also picks up a card, reflecting the mounting pressure of a one-sided scoreline.”

Outstanding performance
Germany•AttackerGermany dominated from start to finish, racking up 32 shots to Serbia's solitary effort and controlling 74% of possession in a near-total territorial masterclass. Tom Bischof's sharp finish from a tight angle broke the deadlock just before half-time, and Florian Wirtz doubled the lead early in the second half after a flowing move involving Saïd El Mala and Nick Woltemade. Serbia, managed under visible strain as shown by Veljko Paunović's booking for dissent, never threatened Germany's goal and made five substitutions in a bid to stem the tide, but the visitors managed just one shot all match. For Germany this result continues a strong run of form and reinforces their standing near the top of their Nations League group, while Serbia's toothless display raises fresh questions about their attacking output heading into the next international window.
