Cavese 2-2 Atalanta U23s
Vavassori and Cortinovis found the net for the Nerazzurri
Atalanta U23s came away from Cava de’ Tirreni with a point as the 2025/26 Serie C Sky Wifi MD15 ended in a 2-2 draw.
The first chance of the game fell to Atalanta: in the 7th minute, Vavassori broke into the box and laid the ball off to Cortinovise, whose first-time effort was denied by Boffelli, turning it behind for a corner. From the resulting set piece, Cavese broke on the counter, but Berto produced a crucial challenge to stop Munari as he was closing in on Vismara. In the 20th minute, however, the hosts took the lead, with Sorrentino heading home from a corner. The Nerazzurri pulled level five minutes later with Vavassori, equalizing at the "Simonetta Lamberti" stadium with a textbook "Vava" strike: breaking in from the left, he stepped inside onto his right and blasted the ball beyond the keeper. The lead arrived on 38 minutes as Cortinovis pounced on the rebound after Vavassori's shot, capping a flawless counterattack sparked by our number 10 himself. However, the hosts found the equalizer just before halftime with Orlando convering the penalty awarded to Cavese following an FVS check on 44 minutes.
In the second half the tempo dropped as both teams focused more on controlling possession. In the 54th minute, Cortinovis played a through ball to Cissè, but the striker’s effort went off target. Cavese threatened in the 76th instead, when Fusco's shot was deflected for a corner. Four minutes later, Guerini was shown a red card for what referee Iannello deemed a last-man foul.
