Control and goal: Kimmich's definition for Germany's 1-0 against Italy.

The dominance of the representative led by coach Hansi Flick in the Germany vs. Italy was reflected on the scoreboard in just 10 minutes. A long possession by the home team at the Borussia-Park stadium in Mönchengladbach ended with the appearance of Joshua Kimmich, scorer of the 1-0 in the fourth matchday of the UEFA Nations League.

The Germans controlled the ball, while the Italians waited grouped at the back. The movement of the ball opened up spaces in the 'Nazionale' defense. Until there were maneuvers that made the difference before the midfielder from Bayern Munich opened the scoring.

Niklas Sule, a center-back who was on the field for the 'Azzurra', launched a long pass into the box to find Timo Werner. But Gianluca Mancini fell on him to prevent him from turning and the German opened up on the wing with David Raum. Then, the midfielder played the ball into the box for Kimmich to control and score against Gianluigi Donnarumma for the 1-0 of the game.

Germany vs. Italy: pre-match analysis

The German team comes into this match after drawing (1-1) against Hungary away. In this way, they continue without a win in the tournament and have three consecutive draws, so they are obliged to beat the 'Azzurra' to fight for a place in the next phase.

After the draw, Germany's coach, Hansi Flick, expressed self-criticism. "We didn't play fast enough forward, we lacked conviction and made too many mistakes," he said in a press conference.

It is important to mention that, in the match that was played at the Renato Dall'Ara Stadium for the Nations League, both teams ended up tied. Pellegrini opened the scoring for Italy (70'), but Kimmich equalized (73').

On the other hand, Italy drew 0-0 against England in the previous match, despite creating several chances to open the scoring. In this way, they remain unbeaten and remain at the top of Group C with 5 points.

The 'Azzurra' did not qualify for the 2022 World Cup and, therefore, hopes, at least, to fight for the title of the Nations League. In that sense, they will have to beat Germany to stay in the lead.

Regarding the match against Hansi Flick's team, Gianluca Scamacca is expected to start as the forward. Likewise, Lorenzo Pellegrini would also enter the starting eleven and hopes to score against the German team as happened in the first matchday.

In addition, Roberto Mancini would trust Gianluigi Donnarumma again in goal, while Di Lorenzo would be in the defensive line.
