Germany failed to break their 15-year-old run without a win over Italy on Wednesday as striker Giuseppe Rossi came off the bench to score a late equaliser (81st minute) and seal Wednesday's 1-1 friendly draw.
The last time Germany beat Italy was a 2-0 win in Zurich in June 1995 to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swiss Football Federation.
With the Azzurri winning all four games between the two sides since, Italy's 24-year-old Rossi cancelled out Miroslav Klose's first-half goal for the hosts (16th).
The Bayern Munich forward's strike was his 59th on his 106th appearance as he draws closer to Gerd Mueller's all-time Germany record of 68 goals.
