Atalanta U23s 0-1 Lumezzane
Setback in Caravaggio
With the visitors running out winners in the Caravaggio game, Atalanta Under-23s' unbeaten run came to its end after six straight games as the Nerazzurri suffered the first setback of 2025.
The hosts broke the deadlock on 16 minutes through Tenkorang, capitalizing on a rebound following Pardel's parry on Scanzi's header. In the 30th minute, Cassa picked the pocket of the Lumezzzane counter and flung a cross in the box for Del Lungo, who had his effort denied by Filigheddu. Just a minute later, Vlahović unloaded a powerful shot to break through the visiting defence, but the opposing keeper sprung into action once again before Artesani's pounce was cleared off in the follow-up.
The Nerazzurri came out strong in the second half, with Artesani winning a corner with his early shot. On 66 minutes, Cassa threaded a perfect pass to Alessio, who fired just wide of the post. In the 72nd minute, Vlahović found the net from a Navarro assist, but the goal ended up disallowed for offside. Atalanta threatened twice in lightning succession, first with Ghislandi (a header) on 85 minutes and then with Alessio's tricky shot 60 seconds later, but neither attempt at goal paid off in the end.
