FROSINONE – Benoit Cauet’s Under 17 Lega Pro side are out of the Lazio Cup after a 1-1 draw with a Chinese XI in their final match of the group stages.
Having recovered from the 1-0 defeat to Frosinone with a 4-0 thrashing of Katane Soccer earlier in the competition, the young Nerazzurri were unable to get the required victory against the Chinese XI.
The match looked to be heading in the right direction as Merola handed Inter a 22nd-minute lead, but Tao Qianglong’s second-half equaliser pegged the Nerazzurri back and ultimately sent them packing from the tournament, despite Cauet’s youngsters being by far the better side.
