International game in Serie A without...Italians

Tonight's match between Inter and Udinese is going to be written as first in Serie A history that no Italian played at the starting 11 from both teams.
From 22 players at the pitch most of them were Brazilians - 6, three Frenchman, two Colombians and one nationality each, from: Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Greece, Switzerland, Portugal, Argentina, Japan, Mali and Ghana.
Out of 23 players at the substitute bench 'only' eight were Italians - four from each team. Three of them 'salvaged their national pride' by entering into the game in the second half.
