Per Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, Alessandro Bastoni and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were equally impressive.

Francesco Pio Esposito & Petar Sucic Impress in Inter Milan Win vs River Plate
After taking Sebastiano’s place in the starting XI, Francesco Pio Esposito showed why many consider him a top prospect.
Despite having a relatively quiet game in the first half, the 19-year-old showed up when it mattered the most.
He broke the deadlock in the 72nd minute with a sublime finish, setting the tone for Inter’s second successive win in Seattle.
Moreover, Petar Sucic came off the bench to provide a crucial assist.
The Croatian midfielder could’ve grabbed another one, yet Mkhitaryan’s composure let him down at the final stretch.
how was Esposito and other new signings overrall? i am not watching these game unfortunately no time
At the start Pio looked shaky but I think around 30 min into the game he looked comfortable on the ball and understand the flow of the game. That momentum lead up to the goal in the second half with Susics nice assist.
