UEFA Nations League Wrap: Germany and Netherlands cruise to opening-round victories

Germany 5-0 Hungary

Germany turned on the style as they opened their Nations League campaign with an emphatic 5-0 win over Hungary in Dusseldorf.

Niclas Fullkrug opened the scoring before the break in the Group A3 encounter, with Jamal Musiala, Florian Wirtz, Aleksandar Pavlovic and Kai Havertz all getting on the scoresheet as Hungary wilted in the second half.

Julian Nagelsmann's side dominated from the outset with Musiala, whose fine solo breakaway goal gave the hosts a firm grip on the game, devastating throughout.

Netherlands 5-2 Bosnia and Herzegovina

Five goals from as many men lifted the Netherlands to a 5-2 triumph over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the evening's other A3 clash.

Manchester United summer signing Joshua Zirkzee scored in the 13th minute at Eindhoven's Philips Stadion but saw his opener cancelled out by Ermedin Demirovic 14 minutes later.

Tijjani Reijnders restored the hosts' lead in the second minute of first-half added time before Liverpool's Cody Gakpo netted 11 minutes after the restart.

Edin Dzeko clawed one back in the 73rd minute, but the Netherlands had more to come as Wout Weghorst made it four for the hosts in the 88th minute and Xavi Simons added his name to the scoresheet in the second minute of stoppage time.
