Germany stamps a brilliant comeback win to beat Italy 2-1 in their own backyard at San Siro.

Sandro Tonali opened the scoring with a powerful strike, only nine minutes into the game. The Azzuris kept the lead until the break, as Tim Kleindienst slotted home a header in the 49th minute, only after coming off the bench at half-time. Leon Goretzka netted the winner in the 76th minute, handing Germany a one-goal cushion ahead of the second leg next week.

Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann's pin-point substitutions worked well for Germany, whereas skipper Joshua Kimmich put up a masterful performance, providing assists for both goals.

Despite a decent performance in the first half, Luciano Spaletti's men failed to keep up with the tempo in the second half. 

Germany will welcome Italy at the Signal Iduna Park in Dortmund for the second-leg encounter on March 24th.

One last effort from the Azzuris as Tonali sailed a long-ranger across the field into the box, as Frattesi's header went way wide off the left post.

The game has resummed after Ricardo Calafiori received medical attention following his clash with Karim Adeyemi.

In: Lorenzo Lucca, Davide Frattesi

Out: Moise Kean, Nicolo Barella

In: Karim Adeyemi

Out: Leroy Sane

Joshua Kimmich. THAT'S IT!

Kimmich floated another vicious cross from the corner on the left, which was perfectly met by Goretzka inside the box, and flicked into the net.

Nagelsmann's men are now ahead!

Daniele Maldini receives a booking for a tough challenge.

In: Daniele Maldini

Out: Giacomo Raspadori

Raspadori found himself on the left in a one-on-one against Baumann inside the box, but his strike targeting the far post was intervened by Baumann, who stretched his left leg to block the shot!

Tonali did a sublime backheel to play it back to Kean inside the box, whose powerful strike soared past the target.

In: Jamie Leweling

Out: Nadiem Amiri

Nadiem Amiri, the German midfielder is now booked for an offence.

Udogie attempted to find the net with a header right from the middle of the box but skied it over the bar.

Udogie followed the ball as Kimmich tried to get a hold of it close to the six-yard box, but Donnarumma came off the line to make a crucial block!

Italian midfielder Nicolo Rovella gets the first booking of the evening for a foul on Goretzka.

An absolutely brilliant cross by Kimmich sailed into the box from the right, as Kleindienst had risen above all to send the ball past Donnarumma, bringing Germany back in the business.

The first touch from the new entrant, and he equalizes for Germany!

In: Tim Kleindienst, Nico Schlotterbeck

Gross almost fell over Donnrumma while trying to anticipate the corner, but fouled him instead. Rudiger disagreed, but the decision stands.

Amiri, the new German starter, sailed the free-kick just inches over the crosspiece, following a set-piece right off the edge of the penalty area.

Donnarumma dived forward to send the ball past the line following a cut-in pass from Amiri.

Moise Kean found himself getting chased by two opposition defenders inside the box, but before they could catch up, Kean utilized the power and took a strike. However, Baumann made another great stop, putting the ball over the top.

Tonali sliced another full-paced long-range strike on target from a second ball, but this time, Baumann made a brilliant stop on his goalmouth, putting his body completely behind the ball.

Donnarumma has always been one of the best goalkeepers in case of outings. He again showed his prowess, coming off his line to drift away a cross by Kimmich from the left corner.

Italy somehow managed to keep the ball off the net, as Donnarumma put his fingertips on a long ball to drift it away. Italy's defence line stayed alert to block two other shots as well.

Barella and Politano again combined up in the right upfront, as Barella looked for Kean inside the box, but Rudiger headed the ball away, showcasing a brave piece of defending.

Goretzka had another attempt at goal with a first-touch strike from a distance, but Donnarumma dived forward to claim it well and good.

That was a sublime cross from Kimmich from the right flank, which Goretzka met in the middle of the box, but powered his header just over the crosspiece.

A fierce start from the Azzuris!

Barella curled in a beautiful grounded pass into the box which Politano received, breezed the ball past Baumann but Tah cleared away. However, Sandro Tonali anticipated it just outside of the 18-yard box and just rocketed it home with a right-footed half-volleyed strike!

One shot. One goal. Italy ahead!

Barella unleashed a beautiful Trivela pass for Raspadori, running upwards in a counter, but Baumann had the ball in his gloves.

Inside the first 15 seconds, Germany earned a corner. On the contrary, Italy initiated a quick counter-attack.

The match is underway at the iconic San Siro!

Italy defeated Germany 2-0 in extra time in Dortmund in the 2006 FIFA World Cup semifinal 🇩🇪
