The UEFA Youth League match between RC Lens and Como 1907 on Matchday 4 ended in victory for the home side.
The French side took a two-goal lead in the first half through Grini, before Italian midfielder Riccardo Cassano pulled one back shortly before half-time.
Raphaël Varane, a member of Como 1907’s educational board, and first-team forward Assane Diao watched the match from the stands at the La Gaillette Sports Centre.
Attention now turns to the young Lariani’s next fixture, as they travel to face Fiorentina this Sunday in Matchday 10 of the Primavera 1 league.
