Joshua Kimmich’s well-taken equaliser earned Germany a 1-1 draw with Italy in their Nations League opener, ensuring his side remain unbeaten under their coach, Hansi Flick. Hungary lead League A Group Three after their 1-0 victory over England in Budapest.
Italy fielded an experimental side for their match in Bologna and gave Flick’s team a real test. Lorenzo Pellegrini edged the hosts in front after 70 minutes, but Kimmich pounced three minutes later to deliver his side a point. Germany host England next in the Nations League on Tuesday, with Italy facing Hungary.
