Wingman Retegui and debutant Brescianini featured in Italy's win
As the Azzurri defeated France 3-1 in Paris
Each in their own unique way, both Retegui and Brescianini left their marks in Paris as Italy defeated France 3-1: while the former delivered a literal key-pass to reclaim the Azzurri's lead over Les Bleus by igniting the goal to make it 1-2, Brescianini made his Senior debut as an Italian International after being subbed in on 81 minutes. As for Atalanta's third International musketeer, Bellanova was an unused subs despite making it to the squad list for the game against the Transalpine outfit.
Likewise hitting the pitch from the bench De Ketelaere gfeatured for Belgium in the Red Devils' 3-1 win over Israel (CDK was subbed in on 64 minutes).
Despite etching his name in the squad list, Kossounou was an unused sub for Ivory Coast as the current AFCON champions defeated Zambia 2-0.
And that accounts for the resume of the Atalantini on International commitments today, Friday September 6.
