Netherlands blanks Germany in Nations League match

Germany’s UEFA Nations League campaign suffered a blow with a 3-0 loss at old rival Netherlands.

Following its disastrous World Cup defense in Russia, Germany remains without a win in the top-tier League A and has yet to score a goal.

“Why are we not scoring? That’s difficult to answer, we have clear chances,” coach Joachim Loew said. “Had we lost 1-0, it would have been acceptable, but breaking apart like this in the last 10 minutes is not good.”

The defeat left Germany at the bottom of Group 1 with one point, days before it heads to Paris to take on group leader and World Cup champion France.
