"We're happy with the result. We know it's not over, we have to be ready for the next match. But we're focused on Bologna and then we'll think about Tuesday," Tomori said as per tribalfootball.

"It's a special emotion. They are our fans and they give us confidence. They give us emotions and we can go onto the pitch with all the energy to do our best," he added.

"A match like this, when the fans are like this, we are more excited," he concluded.

Tomori will have his hands full in the return leg at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium with Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen set to return from the sidelines.
