A mature performance from the Atalanta For Special Second Level team, who claimed a 4-0 win against Filippide in an intense and physically demanding contest. Up against a competitive and well-organised opponent, the Nerazzurri maintained their concentration throughout and relied on their collective play to secure the victory.

All four goals came from well-worked team moves, with Cardozo grabbing a brace and Virgillito and Pezzotti scoring one apiece. A win that rewards not only the quality of the group, but above all their ability to overcome challenges with patience, determination and team spirit, confirming the team's continued progress.

The Atalanta For Special Second Level team made it two wins from two, beating Pavia 6-0 to maintain their place at the top of the table. The Nerazzurri controlled the game with confidence, moving the ball quickly and producing a collective performance involving the whole team.

A further highlight was the seasonal debut of Gianmarco “Giammy” Masserini, promoted from the Third Level during the week and immediately making his mark with a brace. Virgillito also scored twice, while Cardozo and Pezzotti completed the scoring. There was also a welcome return to action for Dominik Capitti after a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Together with the 4-0 win over Filippide, this result further underlines the group's strength and continued progress.

The Atalanta For Special Third Level team beat Oratorio Lainate 5-1 after a convincing performance. The Nerazzurri made a flying start, with Giacomo Probo and Nicolas Nozza both finding the net early on. Mauro Morstabilini then completed the win with a hat-trick, making the most of his teammates' excellent work.

Beyond the result, the team's collective performance also stood out: determination, teamwork and the ability to play together were further signs of the group's progress and development.

The Nerazzurri also got the better of Milan, claiming a 2-0 win after a closely contested game, approached with focus and team spirit.

Fourth Level | Milan-Atalanta For Special 2-8
Nerazzurri scorers: Asperti (2), Todi Lena (2), Illanes (3), own goal

It was a fixture the Nerazzurri remembered well: last season, Milan had inflicted the only league defeat on the Atalanta For Special Fourth Level Red team. This time, however, Atalanta came out on top with a convincing performance, showing determination and good collective understanding.

Cristian Illanes led the way in front of goal with a hat-trick, followed by a brace from Andrea Asperti. There was also plenty to celebrate for Todi Lena, who marked his league debut by scoring twice, despite being the youngest player on the pitch. A Milan own goal completed the scoring.

Beyond the victory, the team's progress in their collective play and the collaboration between the players were particularly encouraging. There are still areas to work on, but the performance confirmed the group's continued development, with everyone given the opportunity to take part, improve and enjoy themselves.

Fourth Level | Arluno-Atalanta For Special 3-1

Nerazzurri scorer: Nosari

Some defeats can still reflect important progress. That was the case for the Atalanta For Special experimental Fourth Level Blue team, who were beaten 3-1 after a performance full of courage and enthusiasm, showing clear signs of improvement compared to their debut on 31 October.

With all 14 players involved, the team coached by Samuele Brignoli and Leonardo Marcassoli showed the benefits of their hard work, looking to play football, combining well and creating several chances. Marco Nosari scored the experimental team's first league goal, much to the delight of his teammates and coaches.
