Caldiero Terme 1-1 Atalanta U23s
Vlahović equalizing from the spot
Points were shared in Caldiero as the Serie C NOW MD35 played out to a 1-1 draw at the Mario Berti stadium.
An offhand first half went by until the half-hour mark at the Mario Berti stadium, with the Nerazzurri only threatening on 16 minutes with a Bernasconi volley on Ghislandi's cross, which got eventually deflected out for a corner. The hosts broke the deadlock in the 35th, though, with Pelagatti heading the ball into the back of the net from a corner-kick situation. As Atalanta got awarded a penalty after a foul on De Nipoti, Vlahović stepped up from the spot, flawlessly slotting the ball in to pull the scores level in the 42nd and beefing up his scoring tally to 18.
Chances were few and far between until the 83rd minute, when Lonardo clipped the crossbar but a wink after stepping onto the field and cutting through the Caldiero lines. The last chance of the game came from the hosts as Florio managed to sting Pardel's gloves with an edge-of-the-box shot.
