Dortmund youngster sent off 13 minutes into Italy debut | OneFootball

On Sunday evening, Luca Reggiani came on for his senior international debut for Italy in a friendly against Greece – but it did not go quite as planned for the Borussia Dortmund youngster.

After a long ball from Greece, Reggiani brought down striker Anastasios Douvikas and prevented him from getting to the ball. Referee Yigal Frid adjudged it to be a denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity and showed the 18-year-old centre-back a straight red card just 13 minutes after coming on.

Reggiani’s BVB teammate Filippo Mané came on for the final 45 minutes and made his second appearance for Italy. Samuele Inacio, who had made his Italy debut on Wednesday against Luxembourg, was kept on the bench for the entire match against Greece.

Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s Fabio Chiarodia made his second consecutive start for Italy, playing the full 90 minutes.
