Jurgen Klopp denied debut Germany win as former player Cody Gakpo strikes late

Jurgen Klopp was denied a winning start as Germany manager after a 1-1 draw against Netherlands on September 24, 2026. Germany had taken the lead through Felix Nmecha's controversial opener, but Cody Gakpo, Klopp's former player at Liverpool, equalized in stoppage time to secure the draw for the Netherlands. The result means Klopp remains without a win in his debut as Germany head coach.
