What happened. Felix Nmecha put Germany ahead in the 32nd minute, but Cody Gakpo volleyed home in stoppage time to earn the Netherlands a 1-1 draw in Jürgen Klopp's first match in charge.

• Jamal Musiala dropped out of the starting line-up late through injury.
• Kai Havertz also went off injured before Nmecha's opener.
• Virgil van Dijk had a header disallowed for the Netherlands.

Germany will look to bounce back in their next Nations League fixture, while Klopp continues to shape his new-look side.
