Ghanaian youngster Raymond Anokye Asante featured for Udinese's first team in their friendly game on Monday evening.
The game, which was also the 18-year-old's first time with the senior team, saw him play 20 minutes of action against Padova.
Asante replaced winger winger Isaac Success in the 70th minute of the friendly fixture.
The result after full-time was, however, not the one the Ghanaian would have expected in his first action with the first team as they suffered a 3-2 defeat.
The former Young Apostles forward was however delighted with the opportunity to have played with the senior team as he edges closer to more competitive action with them.
Asante has been in fine form for Udinese's U-19 side, where he has scored 15 goals in the Primavera 2 and has also racked up six assists in the 2023/24 season.
He was registered as a first-team player this season and there is still an opportunity he could feature for them before the end of the campaign if everything goes to plan.
