Gündogan’s goal for Germany: he made it 2-0 over Italy in the UEFA Nations League | VIDEO

The German team faces Italy and seeks its first victory in Group 3 of League A of the UEFA Nations League. The development of the match in the first 45 minutes is favorable for the ‘Teutons’, given that Ilkay Gündogan scored the partial 2-0, from a penalty, at Borussia-Park.

Romanian referee István Kovács had added three minutes to the first half and with less than 90 seconds left before the break, a foul occurred inside the ‘Azzurra’ area. A cross was sent from the left to a small rectangle, looking for Jonas Hofmann, but the wheel fell abruptly due to the intervention of Alessandro Bastoni.

Being anticipated, the center-back of the Italian team had tried to slightly unsettle his opponent and the judge determined that the contact was illegal. The maximum penalty was immediately decreed, while the goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma approached to claim, considering that there was no infraction.

The protests were euphoric, although nothing changed the position of the official, who asked everyone present to calm down. After order was established, Ilkay Gündogan quickly came to the area to take possession of the ball and settled it on the designated spot, waiting for the referee’s call to kick.

The Germany midfielder did not fail and inflated the nets with an accurate shot directly to the center of the goal, while Donnarumma had chosen to launch himself towards his left post. Happiness broke out in the stands at Borussia-Park, while coach Hansi Flick looked very calm.
