Germany held; Spain shocked
Cologne, Germany - Joachim Loew's 14-year reign as Germany head coach is under pressure after his side's run of poor results continued on Tuesday as they had to come from two goals down to limp to a 3-3 draw against Switzerland in the UEFA Nations League.
Germany have drawn four of their last five games - surrendering the lead on three occasions - to leave them second in their group behind Spain. They squeezed past Ukraine 2-1 in Kiev on Saturday and, Loew's side were once again guilty of poor defending.
Dinamo Zagreb striker Mario Gavranovic scored goals either side of a deft chip by Remo Freuler as all three Swiss goals came from German mistakes.
Germany fought back behind closed doors with goals by Timo Werner, his Chelsea team-mate Kai Havertz and Serge Gnabry.
Ukraine stun Spain
Also, in Kiev, substitute Viktor Tsygankov's strike gave hosts Ukraine a surprise 1-0 win over goal-shy Spain. The 22 year old Dynamo Kiev player had not long been thrown into the fray by coach Andriy Shevchenko when he latched onto Andriy Yarmolenko's superb through ball and fired past an exposed David de Gea in the 76th minute.
It was a shock result after Spain - who had not lost since November 2018 - and Ukraine are now only a point behind Luis Enrique's team in League A, Group 4.
With two rounds of matches still to play in November, Spain top the group on seven points, a point above both Germany and Ukraine, with winless Switzerland bottom on just two points.
