Atalanta U23s 1-1 Cavese

One goal apiece, spoils shared: in Caravaggio, a resilient Atalanta U23, down to ten men for most of the match, grind out a point against Cavese as the Serie C Sky Wifi Matchday 34 rescheduling clash ends 1-1, with Manzoni scoring the Nerazzurri's opener.

Atalanta U23s came off the blocks flying, constantly on the front foot and looking to dictate play. But in the 15th minute, Obrić was shown a straight red by referee Gianquinto, leaving the Nerazzurri a man down. From that point on, Pardel took center stage, pulling off a string of crucial saves that kept the U23 in the game and the scoreboard level at the break.

In the 51st minute, Manzoni won the ball back and unleashed a strike from distance that flew into the net: a stunning goal that put Atalanta U23 ahead despite being a man down. The chance to double the lead came in the 63rd minute, as Cassa and Cissé broke forward on a two-on-one counter. Cassa went for goal himself, but his effort was deflected behind for a corner by a recovering defender. The visitors levelled in the 69th minute through Minaj, who capitalised on a turnover just outside the Nerazzurri box. Late on, Pardel once again rose to the occasion, producing a string of decisive saves to keep the score locked at 1–1.
