Germany cruised to a 3–1 victory over Serbia in Belgrade on Friday night. The match was played in front of a small crowd consisting of only 5,000 spectators due to a UEFA ban. Germany enjoyed the sparse crowd, leapt out to an early lead, and dominated possession against a morally defeated Serbian side.
Germany still needs favorable results on Monday to reach the knockout round of the UEFA Nations League, but Germany’s victory mathematically clinched Serbia’s fourth-place spot in League A’s Group B.
By finishing in the top three of a League A group, Germany reached a key milestone in a different competition.
With this win, Germany have secured a spot in Pot 1 for the Euro 2028 qualifiers draw (which will take place on December 6).
Here are the other teams who have also booked a spot in Pot 1: Italy, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Greece, Spain, England, and Portugal.
Croatia needs a draw against Czechia to claim their spot, while Denmark, Wales, and Norway are fighting for two spots in their group.
