Euro 2016 Wrap : Angelo Ogbonna Benched As Italians Get Off To Winning Start

Catch up on the performance of players of Nigerian descent in the 2016 UEFA European Championship on Monday, June 13.

West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna was an unused substitute in Italy’s 2-0 win against one of the pre-tournament favourites, Belgium, at Parc Olympique Lyonnais.

Emanuele Giaccherini gave the Italians the lead in the 32nd minute before Graziano Pelle’s goal in stoppage time made sure all three points were secured.

With Ireland and Sweden sharing the spoils at the Stade de France, The Blues are first in Group E.

David Alaba (Bayern Munich) and Rubin Okotie (1860 Munich ) will be hoping to feature for Austria when they tackle Hungary at Stade Matmut-Atlantique (Bordeaux) on Tuesday evening.
