    Germany's woes continue, Netherlands make a stunning comeback

    What's the story

    It seems Germany have not yet found their foot, as once again against Netherlands.

    Despite being two goals behind, the Dutch salvaged a draw against Low's men.

    A stoppage-time strike by Virgil van Dijk helped the Dutch cruise to the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League.

    Netherlands reached the semis even though their group had the last two world champions.

    Proceedings

    How did the match go down?

    Germany had a solid start to the match as Timo Werner and Leroy Sane put them ahead in the 9th and 19th minute respectively.

    Netherlands needed to draw the match to qualify as group-toppers, while the already relegated Germans had nothing to lose.

    Just five minutes before the last whistle, Quincy Promes scored once, and Virgil van Dijk added another in stoppage-time.

    Germany

    Assessing Germany's problems

    Germany's steady decline from being a football powerhouse to under-performers is indeed surprising.

    It is not that the Germans lack exceptional players in their ranks, but somehow their weaknesses are being easily spotted by the opponents.

    Is it because Low not being able to introduce something new to their style? If such is the case, Germans need to look for a new boss.

    Sane

    Leroy Sane feels the Germans are improving

    German youngster Leroy Sane said after the match, that despite the draw, he believes that the Germans are improving.

    Sane believes that them scoring twice in the first 20 minutes of the match is really commendable, but what they should do now is hold on and not lose their grip on the match for the entire 90 minutes.

    Nations League

    Nations League after the group stages

    The four teams which have topped their groups in League A, Netherlands, Switzerland, Portugal, and England, will be competing in the semi-finals of the inaugural UEFA Nations League trophy, which will be held in Portugal.

    Teams which have been relegated will find themselves in the League B next year, and teams coming second have retained their League A status.
