Florian Wirtz scored his 13th international goal to help Germany to victory
Liverpool's Florian Wirtz scored as Germany beat nine-man Serbia in the Nations League to seal Jurgen Klopp's second victory as manager.
Serbia's Srdjan Babic scored an early own goal when he accidentally turned the ball into his own net, before Wirtz doubled Germany's lead in the 14th minute.
He clipped the ball over keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic, who got a touch, before bundling the ball in to make sure it crossed the line.
The goal of the game though was undoubtedly debutant Brajan Gruda's strike.
The Brighton midfielder, on loan at RB Leipzig, ran from his own half before lashing the ball in from just outside the box.
Babic scored in the right net in the 56 minute to reduce the hosts' deficit, but any hopes of a comeback ended when Vanja Dragojevic was shown a straight red card for a bad challenge on Joshua Kimmich.
Andrija Zivkovic was then dismissed late on for foul and abusive language.
Klopp has now won two of his first five games as Germany boss, with two draws and one defeat.
His side are third in Group A2 - which could end up being a relegation play-off place.
The Netherlands are top after a 7-0 win over Greece, who are second but level on eight points with Germany. The top two teams will reach the quarter-finals.
Klopp's team host the Netherlands in Monday's final game, with Greece at home to bottom side Serbia.
