Primavera Sassuolo 1-1 Atalanta

On matchday 17 of the 2021-2022 Primavera 1 TIMVISION  2021-2022 “Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti” championship, it ends 1-1 against Sassuolo at the Stadio Ricci in Sassuolo with the Nerazzurri down to 9 men in the final 14 minutes (including stoppages) but managing to win one crucial point.

The first chance was created in the 18th minute by the hosting side through Aucelli, who hit the post. On 22 minutes, the Nerazzurri responded with Bernasconi’s great strike that went slightly over the bar. Then, in the 25th minute, it was Sidibe to test the Neroverde goalkeeper. The deadlock was broken on 26 minutes from the corner: De Nipoti pulled back for Scalvini, who found the winning deflection from close range. Sassi did well to push away Flamingo’s penalty in the 42nd minute. But Sassuolo’s equaliser arrived on 61 minutes through Samele. Scalvini almost scored a double with a header in the 71st minute. Then the Nerazzurri went down to 9 men within a few minutes when Zuccon and the same Scalvini were sent off, both for receiving a second bookable offence. With two men down, the Nerazzurri were extremely alert in the defence. Both D’Andrea’s and Samele’s finishes (the former was parried and the latter was wide) were off target and this way, Atalanta gained one important point at Sassuolo, meaning both teams now sit in sixth place on 26 points.
