Under-23s win 2-1 over RG Ticino
Cisse and Vavassori on target
Newly formed Atalanta Under23s came from behind to defeat RG Ticino at the Centro Bortolotti in Zingonia today. After falling behind due to Gonzalez's free kick, Cisse levelled up the match just before the half-hour mark as he burst into the box and fired a left-foot shot in to beat the goalkeeper. The second half saw Vavassori score the winning goal after Pagani's header had been cleared by a visiting defender.
