Yanis Merdji, a 32-year-old forward, scored for Calcio Foggia during a Serie C fixture against Inter Milan’s Under-23 side. Merdji found the back of the net in the third minute of the match to open the scoring for his club. Despite the early breakthrough, Inter Milan ultimately secured a 3-2 victory.
A New Chapter in Italian Football
Merdji relocated to Italy during the summer to jumpstart his career after a difficult campaign with Girondins. Records indicate that Merdji spent the previous season with the reserve squad, far from the first-team setup led by Bruno Irles. That lack of senior action followed a year in National 2 where Merdji played for the team of Bruno Irles.
Looking for a chance to rebuild his form, the striker joined Foggia in Serie C. Following several substitute appearances, Merdji was started against Inter Milan’s youth squad. He converted an opportunity just three minutes into the contest to score for the first time since joining the club.
League Standings and Group C Realities
