After being repeatedly denied by Musso, Spalletti’s team resisted at the other end to record another clean sheet, and after an hour had passed, a flash of brilliance from Kvaratskhelia snapped the tie to hand the home side the lead.
Before 29-year-old centre-back – Amir Rrahmani doubled the lead to seal off the victory and all three points with a powerful header 17 minutes later.
Super Eagles star, Osimhen, who struggled to settle into the game, managed to assist Kvaratskhelia before being replaced by Giovanni Simeone in the game’s 85th minute.
