After taking Sebastiano’s place in the starting XI, Francesco Pio Esposito showed why many consider him a top prospect.

Despite having a relatively quiet game in the first half, the 19-year-old showed up when it mattered the most.

He broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a sublime finish, setting the tone for Inter’s second successive win in Seattle.

The Croatian midfielder could’ve grabbed another one, yet Mkhitaryan’s composure let him down at the final stretch.
