LEÃO ON THE SCORESHEET, MUSAH AND PULISIC IN FINAL

Rafa Leão once again took centre stage and found the top corner. Just like he did against Slavia in Prague, the Portuguese man also struck for his country, albeit from closer range. In Portugal’s 5-2 friendly victory over Sweden, Rafa started and opened the scoring with a powerful and precise right-footed effort. The Rossoneri man was then substituted for Bruma at half-time.

It was a fantastic night for Yunus Musah and Christian Pulisic, both of whom were starters the USA’s CONCACAF Nations League semi-final win. It finished 3-1 in Dallas, with the Americans having been forced to chase the game from the get-go following Jamaica’s opener with less than one minute gone. A 95th-minute own goal by Burke following a Pulisic corner sent the match to extra-time, before a Wright brace secured the USA’s place in the final, where they’ll face Mexico. Chris played 120 minutes, while Yunus featured for 63.

Yesterday evening, Filippo Terracciano also took to the pitch for Italy U20s. The Azzurrini’s Elite League clash against Romania finished 0-0, a result that was enough for Bollini’s side to win the competition for a third consecutive year thanks to four wins and two draws. The 21-year-old started and played the entire first half before being replaced by Marcandalli after the restart.

It wasn’t the best of evenings for Luka Jović, who started Serbia’s friendly against Russia. With Gajić having been sent off in the 21st minute, Mirančuk stepped up to convert from the penalty spot for the Russians, who went on to win 4-0. Luka was substituted in the 73rd minute.
