Wanner has a lot of space again in the center of the opponent’s half, picks up the pace and moves to the right wing to Walde, who crosses straight up to the second post. Bishop commits an offensive foul there.
38
17:10
The master troop has gained security through the two goals. While the DFB-Elf previously had some coordination difficulties on the defensive, they are now much more self-confident.
36
17:08
Di Maggio puts the ball slightly to the right for Bolzan, the number nine then fires it towards the goal. But Buchmann deflects the corner before the sixteenth, which does not bring the Azzurrini anything.
35
17:07
Di Benedetto and Bruno fight each other in an aerial duel in front of the German penalty area. In the end, the Italian falls on the back of the German. Referee Delajod ultimately interprets it as a foul on Bruno, you could see it differently.
33
17:05
Germany acts more mature than the southern Europeans, who were very questionable in both goals they conceded. Charodia in particular didn’t look good, especially on the second goal. Wanner duped him there properly.
32
17:03
Julian Nagelsmann, FC Bayern coach, had slightly criticized Paul Wanner shortly before this tournament. But the youngster gives a good answer with his wonderful goal.
31
17:03
How do the Azzurrini react to this double blow? They keep going and have the opportunity to get close to the penalty area again with a free kick from the right-hand field. Di Maggio’s cross got caught by Buchmann on the edge of the penalty area.
29
17:01
Yellow card for Paul Wanner (Germany)
Wanner is still euphoric from his sensational goal and runs highly motivated towards Saiana, who puts the playground equipment past him, but then feels the studs of his left foot on his. Dejalod is now reaching into his pocket.

Tooor for Germany, 0:2 by Paul Wanner
Dream goal of the dribbling artist! Weiper throws in a throw-in in the Azzurrini’s half on the right, which he swiftly executes to Wanner. The FCB player has two or three meters of space, nibbles at Chiarodia with a quick feint and then also curves around keeper Magro with lightning-fast ball contacts. At the end he pushes the leather across the line in an ice-cold way, what a one-on-one action!
26
16:58
There can’t be any question of a deserved lead, but the DFB-Juniors defended themselves against the Italians’ early offensive and were then ice-cold.
24
16:55
Tooor for Germany, 0:1 by Tom Bischof
A crooked, but in the end a beautiful thing! Wanner penetrates the left past Mane into the penalty area. However, his shot is then deflected forward by Magro, where Chiarodia tries to clear the ball high. But he shoots Bischof from the head, from which the leather jumps in a high arc in front of the right post to Weiper. He again has his eye on the now free bishop, who volleys Weiper’s half-height head ball directly into the left corner!
22
16:54
Now Wannder lets his whole class flash. He gets the ball from Walde on the right in the half field and then dribbles into the box with four Azzurrini. His shot from nine meters flies two meters wide of the box.
21
16:53
The game has calmed down a bit. Germany survived the first difficult scenes in their own half.
19
16:52
Since Vacca was boiled properly. The winger has a lot of space on the left, dribbles down the center line at speed and then thinks he can just put the marble past Buchmann. The tall central defender puts his body in between and reads the Italian’s velits.
17
16:49
Di Maggio takes the free kick from the left and looks for Mane on the right corner of the penalty area. He wants to extend the ball in front of the goal with his head, but he doesn’t hit the ball properly with his forehead, which means that the ball lands on keeper Seimen.
16
16:48
Wanner has to show up to referee Delajod after tactically tripping Vacca in reverse in his own half. Next time there will probably be a map.
15
16:47
The Italians are slowly afloat. Germany struggles for control but doesn’t even make it into the blue half in the last few minutes.
14
16:46
Mane has a really brave plan in the Italians’ play structure that almost works. His high volley ball from his own half lands high and far in the path of Bruno, who is starting, but he just can’t get to the ball, otherwise he would have been through.
13
16:45
Marc-Patrick Meister’s eleven have to be careful that they are a little more attentive defensively. They also need to get Luca Di Maggio under control, the Inter Milan player is the lynchpin of the southern Europeans’ attacking game.
11
16:44
Bruno with a huge chance! For the first time the ball runs really fast and well with the Azzurrini! Via Mane and Lipani, the leather ends up on the left at Di Maggio in half of the DFB team. The playmaker raises his head and sends Bruno with a superb through ball to the right of the penalty area. The striker takes the ball at full speed with his right hand and delicately nails the ball over the crossbar!
9
16:41
It’s a relatively lively initial phase. Both teams show a high level of intensity and ensure an open exchange of blows.
7
16:39
Seimen demanded for the first time! Saiana throws a throw-in at Di Maggio to the left of the penalty area, who bounces the ball and gets it straight back into the box. The number seven shoots flat from nine meters and an acute angle, Seimen has to sort his feet at the first post to deflect the ball around the post!
5
16:37
The DFB squad does that really well at the beginning, giving the Azzurrini little time and space while they let the ball run safely themselves. In addition, the attack attempts are very vertical and space-consuming.
3
16:36
On the other hand, Azevedo dares a small offensive excursion, fuels up to the penalty area and serves Wanner, who gets stuck in the box but takes the ball to Bischof. The Hoffenheim player fires a first cautious shot at Italy keeper Magro from fourteen meters, who keeps the ball safe.
2
16:34
After a long German ball relay, Bolzan intervened in the middle of half of the DFB team and intercepted a pass to Raebiger. The striker then gets in the box with a one-two with Di Maggio on the right and, after throwing the ball too far, is lightly hit in the foot by Azevedo. But that’s not enough for a penalty.

16:32
The experienced referee Willy Delajod is doing the honors in this game and whistles now! Italy is dressed in blue, the Germans in white. Here we go!
16:10
Both coaches and their teams are ready and looking forward to the upcoming tournament days. Azzurrini coach Bernardo Corradi emphasizes that his team wants to impose their own game on the Germans. He also attributes the game against the DFB squad to a trend-setting importance for the further course of the tournament. Marc-Patrick Meister would like to call himself Marc-Patrick European Champion after this European Championship and according to him his men also seem to be motivated: “The boys can hardly wait and want to show what they are capable of.” In Group A, hosts Israel and Luxembourg are still waiting for the team.
15:55
The Italian team has three players who know Germany well. Filippo Mane came to Dortmund from Sampdoria Genoa in January this year and is now playing there together with the German-Italian Vincenzo Onofrietti, who is currently on the bench. In addition, Fabio Chiarodia, a youth player from SV Werder Bremen, is a central defender in the starting XI, so the Azzurrini’s defensive block is led by two Bundesliga juniors. Alessandro Bolzan from AS Roma should be looked out for in the southern European attack. He has scored 11 times in 15 games for his U17s and also works well with Inter Milan playmaker Luca Di Maggio.
15:39
While the German U17 women’s hunt for the European Championship title ended successfully against Spain in the final yesterday, the men’s adventure begins this afternoon with a top game against Italy. Well-known names in the squad of DFB coach Marc-Patrick Meister include Paul Wanner (FC Bayern Munich) and Tom Bischof (TSG Hoffenheim), both of whom have already had their first Bundesliga minutes. The DFB juniors are expected to play in a 4-1-2-1-2 with captain Laurin Ulrich and Neuner Nelson Weiper up front, with Bischof and Wanner whirling behind them. Between the posts is Dennis Seimen, junior keeper of VfB Stuttgart.
15:11
Welcome to the first game of the German U17 national team in Group A of the European Championships in Israel against Italy! Kick-off is at 4:30 p.m.!
