Primavera Atalanta 2-2 Hellas Verona
Baldo and Mouisse secure the first point of the season
First seasonal point for the Nerazzurri, who at the Stadio Comunale in Caravaggio, earned a 2-2 draw against Hellas Verona after coming back while down to ten men in the 2025/26 Primavera 1 ‘Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti' championship MD1.
A balanced start between Atalanta and Hellas Verona, with both sides immediately playing at high intensity but careful not to be caught out. Towards the end of the first half, the Nerazzurri pushed for the lead with attempts from Baldo and Artesani, but on both occasions the Verona defence stood firm and blocked the danger. In Caravaggio, the first half ends goalless and all square.
The second half kicks off with coach Bosi’s side pushing forward: from a corner kick, Maffessoli rises highest in the box but fails to direct his header on target. Shortly after, the visitors surge ahead as Akale wins a penalty, converted by Vermesan in the 53rd minute.
In the 72nd minute, the Nerazzurri find the equalizer: after an excellent run down the right by Camara, Baldo slots the ball home to level the score.
Ten minutes later, however, Verona reclaim the lead with Vermesan who nods in at the far post to make it 2–1.
In the closing stages, the Nerazzurri press hard for another equalizer, and deep into stoppage time Mouisse delivers: his precise finish into the far corner, from a superb cross by Camara, seals the dramatic 2–2 draw.
