Italy 1-1 Netherlands | Nathan Ake's late goal

Italy looked to be heading for a friendly victory courtesy of Simone Zaza’s goal, but Nathan Ake had other ideas.
Nathan Ake’s late goal punished a wasteful 10-man Italy as Netherlands rescued a scarcely deserved 1-1 draw in Turin on Monday.
Roberto Mancini’s side, beaten 3-1 by France on Friday, spurned a plethora of chances before Simone Zaza finally struck in a clash between two nations who will assume the unfamiliar role of distant spectators during the World Cup.
But it was Ake who had the last say following Domenico Criscito’s red card, the Bournemouth defender’s header representing Netherlands’ first goal in Italy since 1928.
With both countries looking to rebuild under new management following their respective failures to seal a spot in Russia, it appears as though Oranje boss Ronald Koeman has the more daunting task.
His men produced a largely underwhelming display, salvaged two minutes from time by a goal against numerically disadvantaged opponents.
Despite Ake’s late heroics, the result extends Netherlands’ winless run in friendlies against the Azzurri to 15 matches.
TURIN, Italy (AP) The Netherlands scored late to hold 10-man Italy to 1-1 in a friendly in Turin on Monday.

Nathan Ake headed in two minutes from time to cancel out Simone Zaza’s opener.

Italy played the final 21 minutes a man down after defender Domenico Criscito was harshly sent off for a poor last-man tackle.
