Salernitana head coach Filippo Inzaghi decided to start goalkeeper Benoît Costil for the match against Cagliari on Sunday instead of Mexico’s Guillermo Ochoa. Ochoa started Mexico’s recent friendly matches against Ghana and Germany before flying back to Europe to link up with his club again.

Going into today’s clash with Cagliari, the Serie A side sat in 19th place in the table, with only three points so far this season. Their last victory came two months ago and they are winless in eight matches.

Ochoa on the bench

During the summer transfer window, Salernitana bought French goalkeeper Costil to provide competition for Ochoa. For the first time so far this season, the Mexico legend has started a Serie A game on the bench.
