Daniel Mosquera - Bags brace off benchMosquera scored two goals to go with three shots (three on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 3-0 victory over Napoli.
ImpactMosquera had the perfect start to his Serie A career as he scored two goals in just 17 minutes of action. He was subbed onto the pitch in the 73rd minute and two minutes later scored an outside-the-box goal assisted by Ondrej Duda. Then, four minutes into stoppage time he doubled his tally with a close-range strike assisted by Darko Lazovic. After an electric start to the season it would not be surprising to find him in the starting XI soon.

ImpactRaspadori did not start Sunday's season opener, but he came on at halftime to replace an injured Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. He put together a decent performance, recording four inaccurate crosses, two corners and one off-target shot. If Kvaratskhelia is forced to miss any time, Raspadori would have a good chance to take his place in the starting XI.
