Gakpo's Injury-Time Goal Secures Draw for Netherlands in Xavi's Debut as Coach
The Netherlands drew 1-1 with Germany in the Nations League during Xavi's debut as head coach, thanks to a flying goal by Cody Gakpo in injury time. Ruben van Bommel provided the assist for the equalizer after Brian Brobbey was injured and replaced by Mexx Meerdink. Xavi implemented a four-defender system and emphasized Brobbey's pressing role, but the striker suffered an early setback. Virgil van Dijk had a first-half header disallowed by VAR for obstruction, while Felix Nmecha scored for Germany after Dutch players continued playing during Brobbey's injury. The result leaves the team looking forward to their next match against Serbia.
