The Story in 60 Seconds

Germany were held to a 0-0 draw by Greece in a hotly contested match at Toumba Stadium in Thessaloniki. The result prevented Germany manager Jürgen Klopp from securing back-to-back victories with the national team. Despite dominating the first half, Germany could not find a way past Greek goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis, while an early effort from Greece's Georgios Masouras was denied by Jonas Urbig.

Germany appeared to score when Jonathan Burkardt converted a Derry Scherhant cross, but referee Clement Turpin disallowed the goal following a VAR check for a handball by Tom Bischof. Tactical adjustments at halftime by Greece manager Ivan Jovanović disrupted Germany's rhythm, and a late miss by full-back Treu confirmed the scoreless stalemate.
