Germany draw with Italy, Hungary earn historic win against England in UEFA Nations League

BOLOGNA, Italy, 4th June, 2022 (WAM) — Two goals in three second-half minutes saw the UEFA Nations League Group A3 opener between Italy and Germany end all square in Bologna.

Italy came closest to opening the scoring in the first half when the lively Gianluca Scamacca’s shot hit the outside of the post, although Germany spurned opportunities of their own, not least when Serge Gnabry fired over.

But the deadlock was broken 20 minutes from time thanks to a wonderful assist by debutant Wilfried Gnonto, crossing to present Lorenzo Pellegrini with a tap-in.

In the meantime, Hungary earned historic 1-0 win against England on their UEFA Nations League A debut.
