FLORENCE, ITALY - Italy's all-time record run of consecutive wins came to an end on Friday with a 1-1 draw in their opening Uefa Nations League match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

"We're disappointed not to win, but there was no sharpness... our winning streak had to end sooner or later, and we're glad it came with a draw and not a defeat," said Mancini. Under new coach Dusan Bajevic, the away side did little more than launch long passes for Dzeko, who plays in Italy with Roma. They didn't register a single shot on target in the first half.

A stroke of luck put Italy back level 10 minutes later, with Stefano Sensi's shot flying past Ibrahim Sehic thanks to a big deflection off the unfortunate Toni Sunjic.
