Giana Erminio 0-0 Atalanta Under-23s
Honours even in Gorgonzola
Spoils were shared as the third Group A reverse match of the 2023-2024 Serie C NOW, namely the MD 22 fixture between Atalanta U23s and Giana Erminio, culminated in a 0-0 draw at the Città di Gorgonzola stadium.
After Cisse's 21st-minute effort was too weak to trouble Zacchi, Verde had a good chance to give Giana the lead on 27 minutes, but his control failed him. Another chance of note came in the 28th minute when Capone collected Cisse's pass but his first-time shot was deflected for a corner.
Despite coach Modesto's attempt at turning around the match dynamics by opting for two twin subs (starting off with the Diao-Di Serio duo in the 62nd minute and then by deploying Falleni and Muhameti 92 minutes into the game), the second half proved itself all the more tricky with neither team managing to create any viable chance to break the initial 0-0 stalemate.
