Cassano Scores the Winner in Front of Mancini
17-year-old Riccardo Cassano scored the 3-2 winning goal in a Primavera match watched by Italy head coach Roberto Mancini. The young player is in the squad for the November Nations League fixtures.
Como's Primavera team beat Fiorentina Primavera 3-2 on Sunday. The winning goal came from 17-year-old Riccardo Cassano, who struck a shot from midfield. Mancini was also among those watching the match.
Fiorentina started well and took the lead with two early goals. Como, however, turned the score around within the first 20 minutes of the second half.
Cassano has not yet played an official senior match for his club. However, he is included in Mancini's squad, which was announced on Thursday. Italy will face France and Belgium in their Nations League matches in November. According to a FIGC statement, Cassano and 18-year-old Parma player Simone Lontani will train with the senior national team in the early days of the camp, which starts next week in Coverciano. After that, they will play for youth teams to gain minutes.
