Italian Serie C outfit Pro Piacenza suffered an embarrassing 20-0 bashing from hosts Cuneo on Sunday after fielding only seven players at kick-off.

Thus they had limited option by naming six youth-team squad members alongside a physiotherapist in their starting line-up after a youth-team players forgot his ID at home.

An 18-year-old, Cirigliano, was handed double responsibility after being named as captain and coach in the absence of team’s technical crew, who along other players were allegedly missing in action after they have not received their salaries since August 2018.

Local media channel Sport Piacenza revealed that Cuneo, who could only net 18 times in their previous 24 fixtures in Serie C this term, led 16-0 at the end of the first stanza with forward Hicham Kanis scoring double hat-trick.

Interestingly, Pro Piacenza currently are bottom of the Serie C log with eight points from 20 matches, having suffered eight points deducted.
