Netherlands Rescue Late Draw Against Germany in Nations League Opener

The Netherlands came from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against Germany in an entertaining UEFA Nations League game at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.

The visitors had a difficult start of the game, in the 12th minute Virgil van Dijk opened the scoring, but it was ruled out following a VAR review for a foul in the build-up.

Germany take the lead

In the 32nd minute Felix Nmecha scored the first goal for the ''Bundesteam'' and Germany looked set to begin Jürgen Klopp's reign with a victory.

Gakpo rescues a point
