Raum sets up opener as Germany beat Italy

It was a spectacle: following three consecutive draws in the UEFA Nations League, the German national team picked up their first win on Tuesday. The DFB team beat Italy 5-2 – and TSG player David Raum played a major role in the triumph. The left-back's cross set up Joshua Kimmich's opening goal (10) and paved the way for a famous victory, in which Germany led 5-0 at one point. It was Raum's second assist at international level. The 24-year-old featured in all four Nations League matches and played the full 90 minutes in the last three of those. Oliver Baumann was an unused substitute.

That means the international action is now over from a TSG perspective. The new Bundesliga season is fast approaching, with Hoffenheim set to begin training for the upcoming campaign on 26 June.
