All the four goals of the game were scored after his substitution.

In Italy, Nigeria international fullback Ola Aina was a second-half substitute in Torino’s 3-1 home win over Brescia. Aina was introduced in the 75th minute. He played a part in Torino’s third game as he won the ball in the build-up to the goal.
