Pio Esposito makes impact off the bench for Inter Milan

Second Serie A goal for the 2005-born forward underlines his growing influence for Inter Milan

Pio Esposito left his mark on Inter Milan’s victory over Lecce, scoring the decisive goal in the 78th minute. 

Entering from the bench, the 2005-born forward struck at the perfect moment, breaking through the wall set by Falcone and securing three points for the Nerazzurri.

Pio Esposito’s impact extends beyond goals, with assists boosting his European profile

This marks Esposito’s second Serie A goal, both coming as a substitute. But his influence doesn’t stop there: he also contributed two assists, highlighting his ability to change games even without starting.

According to Opta, Esposito ranks among the youngest impactful substitutes in Europe’s top five leagues:

“Only Saïd El Mala of Cologne (born 2006, 4 goals + 2 assists) is younger than Francesco Pio Esposito among players with more than one goal and more than one assist coming off the bench (2 goals + 2 assists, 2005). Quick and decisive.”

Esposito’s performances showcase not only his technical skills but also his readiness and intelligence, making him a rising talent capable of delivering in high-pressure moments for Inter Milan.

A Star emerging from the bench

The young forward’s ability to immediately influence matches provides Chivu with valuable depth. Inter Milan can now rely on Esposito to impact games off the bench, keeping key starters fresh while maintaining offensive firepower.

With performances like these, Esposito is quickly becoming one of Inter Milan’s most exciting prospects, combining youth, versatility, and a knack for crucial contributions.
