  • 95'
    FT: Germany 5-2 Italy! Germany preserve the only unbeaten record in Group A3 as they pick up their first win of the Nations League campaign in emphatic fashion. While scoring five times against Italy for the first time ever is an impressive feat, Italy's two late goals underlined the fact that not all the cracks have been papered over.

Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Alemania en el 51'
  • 51'
    GOAL for Germnay! Just as Italy appeared to be clawing their way back into the match, Germany strike again! Raum puts in a dangerous low cross from the left which deflects off Spinazzola and falls kindly for the Bayern forward just inside the box. He drills a right-footed half-volley into the turf, which bounces off the surface and just out of Donnarumma's reach.
  • 48'
    Italy have showed the attacking intent since the restart and the Roma midfielder tries his luck from the edge of the box, but his hopeful strike flies high over Neuer's goal.
  • 47'
    Scalvini almost has an immediate impact, shaking off his marker to reach Caprari's corner from the right, but the defender is unable to direct his powerful header towards goal.
  • 47'
    Corner awarded to Italy.
  • 47'
    It is the turn of the visitors for a display of incisive attacking passing, as Sule's clearing from Calabria's centre falls kindly for Cristante, who takes a touch before drilling a left-footed effort that whistles past the upright.
  • 46'
    Italy get us back underway for the second half!
  • 45'
    Italy double sub: Scalvini and Caprari on for Raspadori and Fratessi.

    45+2: Germany have a penalty! Hofmann is sent tumbling in the area under the close attentions of Bastoni, leaving the referee no option but to point to the spot!
Substitution

Substitution

at Italia
  • 44'
    Italy sub: Mancini makes a change. It looks to be a tactical one, as things haven't been working so far. Politano goes off and is replaced by the defender, Luiz Felipe.
  • 42'
    Corner awarded to Germany.
  • 40'
    GOOD SAVE! Germany are just starting to up the pressure again now and they break quickly through the middle. It's worked to Werner on the right of the box, and Donnarumma stretches to push his shot away.
  • 39'
    Another German display of precision passing carves through the space in the middle, culminating in Müller laying it into the path of his club colleague Sane on the edge of the area and in a central position. The 26-year-old's curling, left-footed finish is gathered by Donnarumma the second attempt.
  • 36'
    Italy move it quickly from the free-kick and Politano's low cross pinballs through the crowd in the box. It falls for Barella, but he can't guide his shot on target.
  • 34'
    Corner awarded to Germany.
  • 33'
    What a move by Germany! Klostermann's ball to Sané is nodded down by the Bayern attacker into the path of Werner, who prods it out for Hofmann to his right. The Mönchengladbach man drills a low, right-footed effort towards goal, which Donnarumma only just manages to keep out.
  • 30'
    A lot of responsibility is falling on Gundogan and Kimmich to break the lines, but the passes are going astray more often than not.
  • 29'
    Corner awarded to Italy.
  • 26'
    Donnarumma holds onto the ball for too long and is almost caught by Sane, but he just manages to squeeze a clearance to Cristante. He sets Spinazzola away down the left, but he fouls Klostermann to bring the attack to an end.
  • 22'
    Raspadori whips in a free-kick from out near the right touchline for the gaggle of players on the edge of the penalty area. Cristante is afforded some space by the home defence but powers his looping header narrowly over the bar.
  • 20'
    There's a break in play after Raum caught Politano in the side of the head with his elbow, but the forward can carry on without treatment. Italy do have a free-kick though.
  • 16'
    Baston is penalised for a foul on Hofmann.
  • 14'
    Kimmich swings in another good corner and nobody is picking up Rudiger as he drifts to the far post. He can't direct his header on target though, and Donnarumma is voicing his frustrations to his back line.
  • 14'
    Corner awarded to Germany.
  • 10'
    There are no Italy players near Raum and he has time to lift his head up and pick out the cross into the middle.
Goal
Goaaaaaal!
de Alemania en el 10'
  • 10'
    GOAL for Germany! What a finish by Kimmich! It's been coming from the first whistle, and Germany have finally taken the lead! It starts with a long ball over the top by Sule which is helped out to the left by Werner. Raum curls a great cross into the middle, and Kimmich stretches to bring it under control before slotting it past Donnarumma. 1-0 Germany!
  • 9'
    Gnonto is flagged for offside.
  • 8'
    DOUBLE SAVE! Italy's first attack of the game is a dangerous one as Calabria cuts inside from the right and whips a great cross into the middle. Raspadori volleys it towards goal first time and Neuer stretches to block it and is then in the right place to stop Gnonto's follow-up.
  • 7'
    CHANCE! Sane makes a driving run through the middle before trying to lay it off to Muller on the edge of the box. Frattesi cuts it out, but it bounces straight back to Sane, who drills a low shot towards the near post, but he sends it wide.
  • 4'
    Corner awarded to Germany.
  • 2'
    Germany almost make the perfect start as Hofmann plays a wonderful square into the far post for Werner from the right. He hesitates instead of hitting the shot first time though, and Mancini gets back to make the block.

    Mancini said he'd make changes, but they're of a wholesale variety with Donnarumma and Frattesi the only players to retain their places following the 0-0 draw with England.
  • PRVW
    Flick makes five changes to his starting line-up as Kehrer and Schlotterbeck shift out of the back line to make way for Klostermann and Rudiger. In midfield, Gundogan replaces Goretzka, while Müller takes the place of Bayern team-mate Musiala. The final alteration is the most interesting, as Sane comes in for Havertz.

    Roberto Mancini, Italy coach: "The youngsters have shown character, I was impressed. It looked like they had been playing together for longer. We've done some good work, but there's a long way to go still. We will see fresh legs tomorrow, it's the last game of this series and it won't be easy."
  • PRVW
    Hansi Flick, Germany coach: "We have a number of new players in the squad and are still working on developing the team. We're very positive about things. Italy are doing well, they have a very broad squad to choose from, and they always seem to have a different team playing. They have nothing to lose [since they are not going to the World Cup] and they can focus on looking ahead to EURO [qualifying]."
