Klopp selected a youthful team, with Jonas Urbig in goal and Serge Gnabry captain. Bischof partnered Aleksandar Pavlovi\u0107, while Wirtz supported Nick Woltemade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany control the opening half<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany immediately pushed Serbia backwards. Pavlovi\u0107 curled an attempt wide, Woltemade missed an 11th-minute header, and Gnabry and Wirtz forced reaction saves from \u0110or\u0111e Petrovi\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serbia defended compactly and waited to counter. Their best first-half moment came when Kosta Nedeljkovi\u0107 narrowly missed a dangerous ball across Germany\u2019s box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The breakthrough arrived after 39 minutes. Wirtz created space and struck the post before Bischof reacted fastest, converting the rebound for his first senior international goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany\u2019s counterpress repeatedly recovered possession before Serbia could advance, allowing the hosts to sustain attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Said El Mala replaced Gnabry at half-time for his senior debut. Germany maintained pressure as El Mala was denied and Woltemade shot over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second arrived after 61 minutes. Maximilian Mittelst\u00e4dt advanced on the left and found Wirtz, whose intelligent touch escaped the defender before a controlled finish into the far corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wirtz wore the captain\u2019s armband during the second half. He influenced Bischof\u2019s opener, scored the second and repeatedly carried the ball into threatening areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mika Baur replaced Bischof and became the 1,000th player to represent Germany\u2019s senior men\u2019s team. Serbia found no route back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany had almost three-quarters of possession and attempted 32 shots to Serbia\u2019s one. They completed 489 more passes, won 12 corners and recorded 44 opposition-box touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petrovi\u0107\u2019s six saves prevented a wider margin. Urbig made one, reflecting Serbia\u2019s limited threat. Germany lacked finishing efficiency but kept the visitors under pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wirtz and Bischof lead Germany<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Wirtz was the central creator. His shot produced Bischof\u2019s rebound, while his calm finish ended Serbia\u2019s hopes. He also carried and passed effectively between defensive lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bischof balanced Pavlovi\u0107, supported the press and circulated possession. Scoring at his Bayern Munich home ground added significance to his first international goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany\u2019s defenders stepped forward after clearances, compressed the playing area and denied Luka Jovi\u0107 and Du\u0161an Tadi\u0107 useful service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Klopp\u2019s pressing worked<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany kept short distances between defence, midfield and attack, so the nearest players could surround Serbia immediately after turnovers. Gnabry and Wirtz pressed from the front, while Bischof and Pavlovi\u0107 protected the central lanes behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Serbia cleared long, Germany\u2019s defenders stepped forward to contest the next ball. That positioning prevented Jovi\u0107 from holding possession and denied Tadi\u0107 time to organise counters. It also explains why Germany recovered 60 loose balls, and Serbia managed only three touches inside the home penalty area throughout the match in Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What the result means for Group A2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Germany moved third with four points. Greece lead with seven, the Netherlands have five, and Serbia remain pointless. Greece\u2019s draw with the Netherlands kept Germany within reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany visit Greece on Sunday, 4 October. Another victory would strengthen their recovery, while Serbia needs major improvement after three defeats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Germany\u2019s pressing supplied a tactical lesson. Their players reacted immediately after losing possession, reducing Serbia\u2019s build-up time. Local coaches can study how compact distances and coordinated movement created recoveries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
