Florian Wirtz scored the decisive goal and immediately received praise from the international press.
First win under Klopp
The win marked the first success of Jürgen Klopp since his appointment as national team coach. The team displayed a confident performance that many observers described as a “big game”. In the first half, Germany managed to generate almost 30 shots, while Serbia had few chances until the 78th minute.

Reactions from press and web
The international press praised the match: “Eagles powerless in the Allianz Arena. Germany routinely beats Serbia 2-0.” Another report emphasized that the team, after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and a 0-1 loss to Greece, now displayed an attractive, high‑pressing style that Klopp promotes as “Heavy‑Metal‑football”. On social media, fans celebrated the midfield, mentioned Pavlovic, Bischof and Wirtz, and commented that even Cristiano Ronaldo had a more dignified exit than Kimmich. One user wrote: “Wirtz is slowly coming into the desired Flo.”
The atmosphere in the Allianz Arena was described as tense, comparable to a meadow tent where sexist chants were prohibited. Despite the relaxed comments, observers stressed that this match of the six Klopp national‑team games of the year was the only one that had to be won.
