After England faced a disappointing 1-0 loss against Hungary, It was Italy against Germany in the UEFA Nations League on Saturday night. It was a disappointing result for both the teams as both also could get a single point from the game. Mancini’s men managed to get one point after they faced a big loss in the Finalissima this week against Copa America 2021 champions Argentina.
Argentina beat Italy by 3-0 to lift the Finalissima trophy and maintain their unbeaten record for straight 32 games. It is not been a great year for Roberto Mancini’s men so far as they couldn’t qualify for the 2022 World Cup and lost the Finalissima.
Talking about this game between Italy and Germany, no goals were scored in the first half and some decent chances were made by both the teams. It was Germany who enjoyed most of the possession of the ball as they had 68℅ of possession at the end of the game.
Despite complete domination on the ball, Germany conceded a goal first. Lorenzo Pellegrini scored the first goal of the game in the 70th minute which gave a 1-0 lead to the Euro 2020 champions. Three minutes later, Bayern Munich’s star midfielder Joshua Kimmich scored the equalising goal which earn them a point. Looking at the stats, both the teams created enough chances but Germany could have taken all the three points the way they were playing against Italy.
