The Zebrette won the match 2-1 at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow.
“It was a fundamental win,” Marino declared after the game.
“This was a victory against top quality opposition in tough conditions and we can now approach our next games in a calm fashion.”
Antonio Di Natale missed the game last night with a virus and is a doubt for the clash with Inter at the San Siro at the weekend.
“I don’t know yet whether Di Natale will make it,” Marino admitted.
“But I have four strikers to consider – Fabio Quagliarella, Simone Pepe, Alexis Sanchez and Antonio Floro Flores. I may play Floro Flores as a wide forward.”
