Netherlands vs Germany
Germany and Netherlands share spoils
A late Gakpo strike rescues a point for the hosts.
Germany took the lead through F. Nmecha's strike in the 32nd minute, but the Netherlands fought back to equalise with C. Gakpo's goal deep into stoppage time. The 1-1 draw defied Fipster's low-confidence prediction of a narrow home win, leaving both sides to settle for a share of the spoils in this UEFA Nations League clash.
