Germany won the first leg 2-1 at the San Siro. It was Italy’s game to win but Die Mannschaft took a 3-0 lead in the first half. Captain Joshua Kimmich opened the scoring with a 30th minute penalty. Kimmich then set Jamal Musiala up with a quickly taken corner.

Italy, however, managed to mount a second half comeback. Moise Kean scored twice (49′, 69′) to make it 3-2. Giacomo Raspadori found the back of the net from the penalty spot to make it all square in injury time (90+5′).
While the match ended in a tie, it was only a consolation for Italy as they bowed out in the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals. Julian Nagelsmann’s Germany, meanwhile, go through to the last four.
Germany were the side with more possession (57%) and they also managed eight shots on target during the game. The Azzurri had only three shots on target for their three goals. Germany completed 551 passes compared to Italy’s 414.
