The Nations League meeting between England and Italy at Molineux in Wolverhampton was played without an audience.

Or yes, almost.

Only 3,000 children under the age of 14 were on site to watch the rally.

The reason: Uefa punished England for playing two matches without an audience after the riots before the European Championship final at Wembley last year.

As empty as it was in the stands, it was also in the goal record.

This despite the fact that there was no shortage of chances.

Burned open goal

Sandro Tonali got the best chance to break the deadlock in the first half.

The midfielder got the ball completely free in the penalty area but then Aaron Ramsdale stood in the English goal for a quick sideways movement and managed to parry with the leg.

England also did not lack chances to break the deadlock.

At the beginning of the second half, Raheem Sterling got a completely open goal, but the ball bounced up in the closing moments and the ball flew high over the crossbar.

Instead, the replay from the European Championship final last year ended 0-0.

With the draw, England is still without a victory in the Nations League and is currently last in the group.

Italy tops the table ahead of Hungary and Germany.
