Today the Centro Bortolotti in Zingonia hosted Atalanta’s friendly match against Tritium, a team currently competing in the Eccellenza league, the fifth level of Italian football. The warm-up game was divided into three halves (the first two lasting 30 minutes each, while the last one lasted 20 minutes) and resulted in a 4-0 victory for Gasperini’s men, thanks to goals from Mæhle, Lookman – who scored a brace – and Højlund.
