Die Mannschaft's campaign in the UEFA Nations League hit yet another major snag as with their winless run continuing against the Netherlands. The 2014 World Cup winners suffered a 3-0 defeat inside the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam on Saturday night.
Olympique Lyon star Memphis Depay opened the scoring for the hosts with Liverpool pair Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum subsequently putting the game out of reach. The win, which was the Oranje's sixth in their last seven matches, was also their first over Germany on any soil in the last 16 years.
Die Mannschaft, who have managed only three wins in all the 10 matches played in 2018, further attracted another unwanted record. For the first time in history, the visitors finished a game against the Netherlands with a three-goal deficit. The team currently sits at the bottom of the UEFA Nations League's Group 1 of League with just a point and is yet to a register a goal after two outings having conceded thrice.
Coach of the side Joachim Low also entered the record books for the time he spent in the dugout in Saturday's meeting. Prior to kick-off, the 58-year-old manager was tied in first place with Sepp Herberger for the record for most matches as Germany manager. Upon seeing off the game, Low surpassed his compatriot by taking his tally to 168 across all competitions.

The former West Germany midfielder took charge of the national team in 2006 after serving as an assistant manager Klinsmann following Germany's third-place finish having hosted the World Cup. Joachim Low's for Die Mannschaft achievements include winning the 2014 World Cup title, finishing second place at Euro 2008, and winning bronze medals at the 2010 World Cup, as well as the 2017 Confederations Cup.
