Nerazzurri Youngster Ends Wait For First Inter Goal In Cagliari Win | OneFootball

Inter left Sardinia with a valuable 2-0 victory against Cagliari on Saturday evening, with Italian starlet Francesco Pio Esposito scoring his first goal for the club.

The result keeps Cristian Chivu’s side moving back up the Serie A table.

Lautaro Martinez opened the scoring after just nine minutes but it was the second goal that stole the headlines.

Pio Esposito, the 19-year-old striker, finally grabbed his first Serie A goal.

After weeks of waiting and coming close, he sealed the three points with a late strike in the 82nd minute.

The goal capped a memorable night for the youngster, who was facing his brother Sebastiano in the opposition colours.
