In the rearranged fixture of matchday 5 of the 2020-2021 Primavera 1 TIM “Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti” championship, Atalanta U19s coached by Massimo Brambilla win 4-0 at the Bortolotti Training Centre against Torino. The star of the match was the forward Italeng (in the cover photo with the match ball), who scored a hat-trick, while the last goal was scored by Ghislandi, who was the captain today.

After two attempts at both ends, the deadlock was broken on 14 after a great play by Italeng, who went past a defender and beat the goalkeeper with a left-foot shot. He then scored the double with a right-foot shot on 21. The Nerazzurri almost scored the third with Sidibe, who fired over on 27. Gelmi deflected Horavth’s shot for a corner on 40.

In the second half, Italeng scored a header from Panada’s free-kick on 69 to make it 3-0 and, therefore, scoring a hat-trick. Torino’s Vanni stroke the post on 73. In the final minutes, Italeng, sent through by Panada, almost scored the fourth, but Atalanta made it 4-0 anyway on 88 when Ghislandi dribbled past the Torino defence and beat the goalkeeper with a clinical finish. It ended 4-0 for the Nerazzurri who will be back to the pitch at the Bortolotti Training Centre on Wednesday for matchday 9 clash against Sampdoria.
