An inexperienced Italy began their rebuilding job with an impressive home draw with Germany in a Nations League opener for both sides. Having failed to qualify for the second successive FIFA World Cup, Italy opted to test out numerous new players.
For Italy, 18-year-old substitute Wilfried Gnonto scored the goal in 70’ while Germany levelled immediately, with Joshua Kimmich equalizing in 73’.
Germany’s next game in Group A3 is a home match against England, who were beaten 1-0 in Hungary earlier on Saturday. Italy host the Hungarians, with both games on 7 June.
