Mid-term conclusion:
The German national team is 0-0 at the break in the opening game of the UEFA Nations League against Italy. The DFB squad determined what happened in the early stages, but initially lacked the necessary determination in and around the opponent’s sixteen with clear field advantages. So it took until the 16th minute before Gnabry had her first opportunity with a shot from an acute angle. As a result, the Squadra Azzurra became bolder and more active, so that the guest had significantly more trouble in the midfield areas. In a comparison in which the mandatory scenes in the penalty area only increased in the last quarter of an hour, the Mancini team confirmed their upward trend and scraped a goal from a long-range Scamacca, who smacked the outside post (36 ‘). On the other side, an attempt by Sané from the best position rushed over the home goal (40th). See you soon!
