Emerson started and played the full 90 minutes at left back as the Italians won 2-0 against Malta. Scamacca was forced to watch on from the sidelines as Argentinian-born Mateo Retegui found the back of the net after only 15 minutes.
Scamacca did come off the bench for the final 25 minutes in place of Retegui but was unable to find the back of the net.
Rice played the entire match at Wembley Stadium as the Three Lions beat Ukraine 2-0 thanks to first-half finishes from Harry Kane and Bukayo Saka.
Okoflex was an unused substitute as ten-men Republic of Ireland Under-21s beat Iceland Under-21s 2-1 in Cork.
