Highlights: Luciano VIETTO and Mauro ICARDI score

Luciano VIETTO and Mauro ICARDI both scored for their clubs in pre-season friendly matches.

Luciano VIETTO, who only recently joined Sevilla, scored his first goal for the club. Pressuring and winning the ball back, VIETTO runs through on goal and scored with a shot in the top corner in their 2-0 win against Granada.

Mauro ICARDI scored his first of the pre-season in Inter Milan’s 4-1 loss against Bayern Munich. ICARDI was straight through on goal and made no mistake sliding it past the goalkeeper.
