Vagiannidis and Ioannidis help sink Germany; Sporting duo stun Klopp | OneFootball

Greece stunned Germany this Sunday, September 27, with a 1-0 win in Augsburg, in a Nations League match featuring two Sporting players: Georgios Vagiannidis and Fotis Ioannidis.

Vagiannidis started at right-back for the Greek side, but was taken off at half-time after being shown a yellow card in the first half. The Sporting full-back helped the team keep a clean sheet during the opening 45 minutes.

Fotis Ioannidis started on the bench, but was brought on during the second half. With the green-and-white striker already on the pitch, Greece found the decisive goal with around 15 minutes remaining. After an attempted cross from Tzolis, the ball fell to Dimitrios Kourbelis, who beat Nubel and scored the only goal of the match. The strike sealed a hugely significant win against Jurgen Klopp’s Germany.

The German side therefore remain without a win since the arrival of their new manager, having already drawn 1-1 in the Netherlands. Greece, meanwhile, have made it two wins from two, following their away victory over Serbia.

Vagiannidis and Ioannidis - who could start against Braga Greece return to action on Thursday, October 1, in Thessaloniki, against the Netherlands, in the third round of the Nations League.
