Germany Emerges Victorious in Nations League With Late Equalizer From 10-Man Netherlands

"After they scored, the game became more intense, but we remained in control of the situation with confidence," Undav, who was only making his second international start, shared with German broadcaster RTL.

The win moves Germany onto seven points from three games, two ahead of the Netherlands with the heavyweights facing each other on Monday in Munich.

"We scored too few goals for the number of chances we had," said Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann.

At the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary and Dutch players, as well as spectators, observed a minute's silence in memory of former Netherlands great Johan Neeskens who passed away this week at the age of 73.

Hungary took the lead in the 32nd minute when Roland Sallai scored with a close-range finish after being teed up by Zsolt Nagy.

It was the perfect start to the game for Hungarian coach Marco Rossi who was taking charge of the national team for the 69th time.

Hungary were looking at defeating the Dutch in the teams' first meeting since they were mauled 8-1 in 2013.

That prospect brightened when Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk was red-carded in the 79th minute.

However, four minutes later, the Dutch made a mockery of their one-man disadvantage when Denzel Dumfries headed in a free-kick from Cody Gakpo.

"Even with ten men, we tried to put pressure forward," said Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman. "I did think we were going to score."

Wales squandered a 2-0 lead to draw 2-2 with Iceland in Reykjavik.

Tottenham's Brennan Johnson, scoring for the seventh consecutive game for club and country, and Harry Wilson gave Craig Bellamy's team a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break but Iceland hit back in the second half.

Substitute Logi Tomasson cut the deficit in the 69th minute before Wales goalkeeper Danny Ward allowed a 72nd minute drive from the same player to bounce off his elbow and into the net.

"In the long run, I'm really happy. And this is not me trying to sugar-coat drawing after being 2-0 up, it really isn't," said Bellamy.

"What I'm telling you now I told the players. This was really good."

In the same group, Turkey defeated Montenegro 1-0.
