Italy v Germany live updates – latest score as European giants clash in Nations League opener

Here's the full report from tonight's game in Bologna, including talking point, man of the match and player ratings.

See you next time!

A far more eventful second half. Italy's 18-year-old debutant Wilfried Gnonto is the story of the night, as he provided a superb cross to set up the Azzurri's opener, scored by Lorenzo Pellegrini, five minutes after coming on.

But the lead didn't last long, as the impressive Kimmich netted an equaliser three minutes later.

Germany's unbeaten run under Hansi Flick now stands at 10 matches, but Italy will also be happy with the performance of a young and inexperienced side.

The Italy keeper has been busy in the final quarter of this match and comes to their rescue again with a smart save!

Pellegrini whips in a free-kick, it's headed out for a corner. But Dimarco's delivery is terrible, flying over everyone and out for a Germany throw.

There's a lot of applause for Gnonto every time he's on the ball. The teenager has really won over the Italy fans with his performance here.

We're into four minutes of added time.

We're getting a lot more changes and yellows than chances at the end here. Will either side find a late breakthrough?

Werner is booked this time for dissent.

A good debut for Frattesi, who is replaced by Samuele Ricci.

Another debutant, Matteo Cancellieri, is on for Scamacca.

Another yellow, this time for the Chelsea man.

The Italy defender is the latest name in the book.

Tonali and Biraghi are off, Pobega and Dimarco on for the Azzurri.

For Germany, Raum is on for Gnabry.

Donnarumma is drawn into action again, palming away a dangerous cross before blocking a follow-up shot. Italy hanging on a bit now.

Gundogan has a go from just inside the box, but his shot is held at the second time of asking by Donnarumma.

The players trudge off for a drink.

The lead didn't last long! That's what you call an instant response.

Italy make a bit of a mess of it in the box as they fail to clear their lines, and Kimmich eventually fires home after a shot deflects into his path in the area.

VAR has a look but the goal stands!

What an impact from Gnonto! The 18-year-old gets an assist on his debut for the Azzurri, and a fantastic one at that.

The winger picks it up out wide, finds space for a cross and whips a ball across the six yard box for Pellegrini to tap in.

The Dall'Ara explodes and we finally have a breakthrough!

Here come some familiar faces for Premier League fans.

Gundogan and Havertz are on for Goretzka and Muller. Can they make a decisive impact in the final 20 minutes?

Goretzka picks out Musiala on the left-hand side of the box, but the youngster scuffs his shot and it rolls harmlessly wide.

Neither side has really got its shooting boots on tonight...

Tonali holds back Gnabry and goes in the book.

It's a debut for Gnonto! The 18-year-old is on for the final 25 minutes in the place of Politano, who is limping after that challenge. What an opportunity to become an instant hero for the FC Zurich man.
