Germany's bid to reach the Nations League quarterfinals will go to the wire as they defeated nine-man Serbia 3-1 and the Netherlands did a demolition job on Greece.

Jürgen Klopp's side moved level on eight points in their group with Greece thanks to an own goal from Srdjan Babic and strikes from Florian Wirtz and Brajan Gruda at Belgrade's Rajko Mitic Stadium.

The hosts pulled one back through Babic in the fixture -- played behind closed doors due to racist and discriminatory behaviour by Serbian fans in September -- which ended in farce when second-half substitutes Vanja Dragojevic and Andrija Zivkovic were given their marching orders in the last quarter of an hour.

Dragojevic was initially given a yellow card but was upgraded after it was deemed he stood on Joshua Kimmich's ankle, while Zivkovic saw red for foul and abusive language later on.

Germany will host the Dutch in their final group game on Monday, with Greece welcoming Serbia. Greece currently sit in second spot in the group by virtue of a better head-to-head over Germany.
