Karetsas revels in Greek party against Germany | OneFootball

Konstantinos Karetsas had several strong moments as early as the first half, repeatedly taking on dangerous dribbles in the final third. The Borussia Dortmund attacker also had a good chance himself. But his left-footed shot in the seventh minute sailed over the crossbar.

Overall, the 18-year-old looked well organized with his Greek side. When Dimitrios Koubelis scored the decisive goal of the evening in the 74th minute, Karetsas was among the first to congratulate him, and together with his team he wrote a small piece of Greek football history: for the first time ever in their international history, Greece managed to beat Germany.

In the failed home debut of new Germany head coach Jürgen Klopp, BVB midfielder Felix Nmecha played a total of 82 minutes before being replaced by Anton Stach. His Dortmund teammate Nico Schlotterbeck was not in the matchday squad against Greece either, just like Waldemar Anton. They could still get minutes this week against Serbia (1 October, 20:45) or Greece (4 October, 20:45).

No BVB duel in Oslo

Fábio Silva, meanwhile, also remained on the sidelines. In Portugal’s 2-1 away win over Norway, the BVB striker was not included in head coach Jorge Jesus’ 23-man matchday squad. That meant there was no direct meeting between Fábio Silva and his teammate Julian Ryerson. The 28-year-old is a regular at right-back for the Scandinavians and made his 49th international appearance. In front of their home crowd in Oslo, Norway initially fell behind but equalized through former Dortmund player Erling Haaland to make it 1-1. Goncalo Ramos then scored the winner for Portugal shortly afterwards.

Chukwuemeka scores for Austria

On Sunday evening, Joey Veerman for the Netherlands and Carney Chukwuemeka for Austria were also in Nations League action. Veerman played in central midfield in the Oranje’s 2-1 away win over Serbia and was the key figure in the new national coach Xavi’s team. The 27-year-old finished with 135 touches and a pass completion rate of 90 percent. Veerman also created five chances and won 67 percent of his duels.

Carney Chukwuemeka also had plenty to celebrate with Austria. The 22-year-old came on in the 58th minute of the home game against Kosovo and scored just three minutes later to make it 3-0 for the ÖFB side at the time (final score 3-1). For Chukwuemeka, it was his first competitive goal for Austria.
