SwitzerlandSwitzerland1GermanyGermany1
Germany's wait for their first Nations League win goes on after they were held to a draw by Switzerland in Basel.
Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan gave the visitors the perfect start at St Jakob-Park, finishing clinically from 20 yards on 14 minutes.
But the hosts levelled just before the hour, Silvan Widmer converting from inside the penalty area.
It was Switzerland's first point of the campaign, leaving Germany with two draws from two in League A Group 4.
Germany, World Cup winners as recently as 2014, also failed to win any of their four games in the inaugural Nations League two years ago.
