Match overview
Early Italian control turned when Brehme’s free-kick crept past Zenga four minutes after Mancini had swept the Azzurri ahead, leaving a lively encounter level. Both sides spurned late chances as Beckenbauer’s hosts and Vicini’s youthful Italy opened Group A with a point apiece.
Trivia
This was the first competitive draw between the nations since the 1970 World Cup semi-final; Matthäus’s appearance was his record-equalling 70th for West Germany.
