Greece drew 0–0 with Germany at Toumba Stadium on Sunday night in round four of League A Group A2 of the 2026–27 UEFA Nations League.

The goal that did not stand

Germany put the ball in the net through Jonathan Burkardt in the 32nd minute, but the goal was overturned after a VAR review identified a handball in the buildup. The match remained goalless, giving Greece another point against Germany after the 1–0 victory in the first meeting.

Unbeaten on eight points

The national team now has two wins and two draws, eight points and an unbeaten record. The Netherlands also has eight points and the same goal difference, but leads the group on goals scored. Greece is second and Germany follows on five points.

The draw keeps the race for the top two places open; it does not by itself secure qualification.

Two November fixtures

Greece will visit the Netherlands on 13 November and complete the group stage at home against Serbia on 16 November.
