Three Argentine players scored in the same match as Udinese won 2-1 against Bologna.
Rodrigo DE PAUL, who is rumored not to make this month’s Argentina national team squad selection, gave Udinese a 1-0 lead. A penalty in the first half gave the hosts the advantage.
However, the visitors would draw level before the end of the first half. Rodrigo PALACIO scored for Bologna from close range.
Ignacio PUSSETTO would restore Udinese’s lead with a towering header which would prove to be the winner.
Lautaro MARTIENZ scored for Inter in their 2-1 loss to Cagliari.
With no Mauro ICARDI, it was Lautaro MARTINEZ who lead the attack for Inter. After falling behind due to an own goal by Ivan PERISIC, Lautaro MARTINEZ leaped in the air and scored to draw Inter level. However, it wouldn’t be enoguh as Cagliari would score shortly before half time as they would go on to win.
Despite being on the bench, Argentina U20 player Facundo COLIDIO would remain an unused substitute.

Argentina will play Germany in a friendly match in October in Dortmund.
Confirmation coming out today that the Argentina national team will play Germany for the first time since 2014 in a friendly match. The general manager of the German national team Oliver BIERHOFF has confirmed that the match would take place.
“It’s important to look at the best teams on our way back to the top. The players and the fans wanted a match against Argentina.”
Facundo COLIDIO has replaced Mauro ICARDI in the Inter squad for their league match.
For yet another match, Mauro ICARDI has been dropped from the squad. However, this time, an Argentina forward has taken his spot. Argentina U20 player Facundo COLIDIO has been called-up to the Inter team for their match against Cagliari. Still only 19 years old, COLIDIO joined the Italian club back in 2017 from Boca Juniors.
COLIDIO was voted as the COTIF best player of the tournament last year with Argentina.
