The German national team, which has changed in many positions, ended the Nations League group phase with a draw. Coach Julian Nagelsmann’s team drew 1-1 (0-0) with Hungary in Budapest. Even though the German selection was unable to repeat Saturday’s 7-0 gala win against Bosnia-Herzegovina, they took the lead with a goal from Dortmund’s Felix Nmecha (76th minute). Dominik Szoboszlai (90+9) equalized late with a hand penalty.
After the group victory had already been confirmed, Nagelsmann had already changed the team’s starting eleven to nine positions. In the quarter-finals on March 20th and 23rd, the German team will face one of the three group runners-up: Italy, Croatia or Denmark. The return game will then be about participation in the Final Four in June.
Holland makes a mistake – the Czech Republic and Wales move up
The Dutch, who had already qualified for the quarter-finals, made a mistake in the end in Group 3 of the Nations League, which was led by Germany. The European Championship semi-finalist did not get past a 1-1 (1-0) draw against Bosnia-Herzegovina in Zenica.
Meanwhile, in addition to England and Norway, the Czech Republic and Wales have also achieved direct promotion to League A. The Czech Republic won against Georgia 2-1 (2-0) and secured first place in Group 1 ahead of Ukraine, who can still secure promotion in the playoffs. In Group 4, Wales moved past Turkey with a 4-1 (2-1) win against Iceland, who stumbled in a 1-3 (1-2) draw in Montenegro.
