Joshua Kimmich crashed the party in Bologna. Lorenzo Pellegrini opened the account for Italy vs. Germany in the 70th minute. But, the Bayern Munich player took advantage of an invasion of the opponent’s area to define over the far post and make it 1-1 at 73′ in the match that took place at the Renato Dall’Ara stadium.
The Germans, after the blow received, reacted. Then, the representative led by Hansi Flick tried short touches to break the ‘Nazionale’ barrier. This is how Timo Werner tried to combine with Kai Havertz, but Alessandro Bastoni threw himself on the grass to block the advance of the ‘Mannschaft’.
However, Jonas Hofmann captured Italy’s half-hearted clearance. So, the player from Germany sent the lob over the six-yard box. Francesco Acerbi tried to move away the danger with his head, but he did not connect the round. In fact, there was an impact on the humanity of Timo Werner, who was also unable to control.
The ball was loose again for Kimmich to fire hard over the far post to beat Gianluigi Donnarumma and score 1-1 in the UEFA Nations League A League and Group 3 matchday one match. There was tension in the stadium because Werner would have touched the balloon with his hand, but this was ruled out through a VAR review.
Italy vs. Germany: the previous
The ‘Nazionale’, who failed in their attempt to qualify for the Qatar 2022 World Cup, has the mission of vindicating itself in front of its fans. Although, the team led by Roberto Mancini suffered a serious blow in the middle of the week with a 3-0 defeat against Argentina in the Finalissima that faced the monarch of the European Championship and the Copa América.
Lionel Messi and company not only aggravated the situation of the ‘Azzurra’, they also ruined the goodbye of Giorgio Chiellini, who appeared for the last time with the national team. “Let’s forget the past. Let’s get our enthusiasm back and focus on our work”, expressed Leonardo Bonucci, who asked to turn the page to think about the next challenge.
On his side, Germany went from less to more to get the pass to the World Cup. With Hansi Flick at the helm, the ‘Mannschaft’ continues to prepare for the event in Qatar 2022. “During the European Championship, we were all fans of Italy. Their team spirit and the way they played was impressive”, said the German coach about the opponent.
