What happened. Felix Nmecha gave Germany the lead in the first half, but Cody Gakpo equalised in the 92nd minute to secure a 1-1 draw for the Netherlands. The match marked the debuts of head coaches Xavi for the Netherlands and Jürgen Klopp for Germany.

Nmecha's goal came while Brian Brobbey required treatment, angering Netherlands players.
Gakpo volleyed in Ruben van Bommel's cross for the late equaliser.
Jamal Musiala and Kai Havertz pulled up lame, raising injury concerns.

The draw gives both new coaches a point to build on, but injury worries may overshadow Klopp's start.
