Italy, seeking to overcome the disappointment of not qualifying for the World Cup for the second time in a row, fielded a reserve squad for their Group C match in Bologna, and gave Flick’s team a tough test.
Roma’s Lorenzo Pellegrini opened the scoring for Italy 20 minutes before the end, and the team looked on their way to their second victory in their last six matches, but Kimmich equalized three minutes later.
Germany have won eight matches and drawn twice since Flick took charge, following the departure of Joachim Loew from the national team after last year’s European Championship.
Germany plays England on Tuesday, while Italy plays Hungary.
