Van de Beek off the mark as Netherlands holds Italy
Donny van de Beek scored his first Netherlands goal in a 1-1 draw with Italy that saw both teams lose ground to Poland in Nations League Group A1.
Lorenzo Pellegrini polished off a lovely move to put Italy in front in Bergamo on Wednesday, before Manchester United midfielder Van de Beek opened his international account in his 14th cap.
Neither side was unable to find a winner in the second half, with Roberto Mancini's men extending their unbeaten run to 19 games – 16 in competitive matches – and denying Frank de Boer a first victory in charge of the Netherlands.
Poland now sits in pole position to advance to the Nations League Finals after a 3-0 win over Bosnia-Herzegovina, piling the pressure on Italy and the Netherlands.
