UEFA Nations League: Germany Struggle, Spain Suffer Shock Loss

UEFA Nations League: Germany Struggle, Spain Suffer Shock Loss

Germany 3-3 Switzerland

Germany came from behind three times to force a 3-3 draw against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday evening.

Atalanta's Robin Gosens as well as Chelsea duo Timo Werner and Kai Havertz earned a recall, with the Swiss having Xherdan Shaqiri and Granit Xhaka starting.

Die Mannschaft were behind from a corner-kick in the opening five minutes after Mario Gavranovic helped Remo Freuler's header beyond Manuel Neuer.

Switzerland grabbed a second right after the midway stage when possession turnover from Toni Kroos allowed Haris Seferovic to free-in Freuler to in-turn lob Neuer. However.

Die Mannschaft responded instantly after Werner found the bottom corner before Havertz ran onto a penetrative ball before firing past Yann Sommer to put his side ahead on 55 minutes.

The visitors were back ahead in the matter of minutes as Gavranovic thumped a loose ball from the edge of the area into the roof of the net amidst the efforts of Neuer.

It became a ding-dong affair following 60 minutes after Serge Gnabry pulled Die Mannschaft levelled again with a clever flick, which proved to be the final goal.

Ukraine 1-0 Spain

Spain succumbed to their first ever defeat to Ukraine, who picked up a slender 1-0 win in the UEFA Nations League on Tuesday.

Mikel Oyarzabal, who netted the winner against Ukraine dropped to the bench as did Sergio Busquets, Ferran Torres with Sergio Reguilon recalled on the side of Spain.

After a goalless first half, Luis Enrique's side were stunned 14 minutes from time when Viktor Tsygankov latched onto Andriy Yarmolenko's through ball to scoop over David De Gea.

Spain desperately bombed forward for the equaliser in the final minutes through Ramos's first-time shot, but left Kiev with a tail on their backs.
