What a national team debut for Zurich’s Wilfried Gnonto. The FCZ striker started the 1-0 lead for Italy following coming on as a substitute once morest Germany. In the end, the Italian B-Elf fought for a 1:1 draw.
The European champions Italy, who were ailing following missing out on qualifying for the World Cup, are looking for new hope. One of these is Wilfried Gnonto, who is the only outfield player from a foreign club to make it into the somewhat experimental Italian squad for the upcoming Nations League games. Just five minutes following being substituted on, the 18-year-old made his first exclamation mark. He passed over Thilo Kehrer and passed low to Lorenzo Pellegrini, who only had to push in to make it 1-0 (70′).
The Germans, who were only superior in terms of game shares, reacted immediately through Joshua Kimmich (73rd) and saved Hansi Flick’s unbeaten state as national coach. The Bayern Munich midfielder might have scored once more later but was denied by goalie Gianluigi Donnarumma, one of only two Italians on the field with more than 25 caps.

Italy debut for FCZ-Gnonto
The time has come: Wilfried Gnonto from FCZ is making his international debut for Italy. The 18-year-old comes in for the battered Politano in the 65th minute. That doesn’t change anything in the score for the time being. Next 0:0.

Italy almost with the lightning start
That would have been a start. After a cross from the right, Scamacca misses the 1-0 for the hosts. The 1.95m giant gets a free header less than five meters in front of the goal – but ultimately puts the ball well past the box. There would have been more there.

Halftime: Italy – Germany 0:0
Neither team was able to ignite fireworks in the first 45 minutes. Germany has so far had a lot more of the game, but in the end they lack accuracy. Not much has come from the Italians so far. Scamacca’s post shot remains the only chance.

Quiet start phase
The game starts quietly. The Germans put on a little more pressure in the first ten minutes, but they didn’t create any great scoring chances. The young Italian team has to find itself here first, they can’t set any accents at the front yet.
