U23s: Saturday tie v Spal
Kick-off in Caravaggio for the Coppa Italia Serie C's first knockout round
Saturday August 10 will mark the official start of the 2024/25 season as coach Modesto's lads welcome Spal in Caravaggio for the Coppa Italia Serie C's first knockout round kicking off at 18:00 CEST.
Bound to be a single-leg tie, if the scores are levelled at the end of regulation time, the match will go to extra time and then, if needs be, it will be decided by a penalty shootout.
The winning side will then face the victors of the Legnago Salus v Vicenza tie in the second knockout round scheduled for Sunday, August 18, at 21:00 CEST.
While the game at hand is the first official encounter between the two teams, Atalanta U23s and Spal already crossed their paths in the 2023/24 pre-season, namely in the friendly that culminated in a 0-0 draw.
The match will be officiated by Mr. Adolfo Baratta from the Rossano AIA section (assistant referees: Roberto Meraviglia from Pistoia and Roberto Palermo from Pisa, fourth official Maksym Frasynyak from Gallarate).
