In the third friendly of the season, Atalanta beat Pordenone 2-1 at the Gewiss Stadium in front of 1000 fans.

Atalanta took the early lead through Piccoli, who nodded Gosens’ corner kick in. The visitors then equalised through Tsadjout on 14 minutes, as Pordenone were awarded a penalty and the striker converted from the spot. The Nerazzurri restored their lead in the second half: Piccoli kept the ball in play and set up Kovalenko, who scored his first Atalanta goal.
