Primavera Sampdoria 2-2 Atalanta

On matchday 3 of the 2021-2022 Primavera 1 TIMVISION “Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti” championship, Primavera’s match against Sampdoria ends 2-2 at the Stadio “R. Garrone” in Bogliasco, with the victory fading away in the final minutes of the game.

On 7 minutes, Polli did not make the most of a loose ball and his poor shot was smothered by Sassi. The Nerazzurri responded to it in the 8th minute with Zuccon who set Fisic up: his curler went just wide. Oliveri forced a difficult save from the Sampdoria goalkeeper on 17 minutes and Atalanta almost took the lead in the 36th minute through Zuccon first, whose great shot from the edge of the box clipped the upright, and then Oliveri, who seriously tested the goalkeeper. Just before half-time, Fisic nodded wide.

At the beginning of the second half, Omar had the chance to break the deadlock, as he won the ball, broke away from a few defenders but saw his sitter being deflected for a corner by Yepes. In the 50th minute, Sassi made a save on Malagrida’s nasty cross but Sampdoria took the lead in the 54th minute through Aquino, who tapped in from a corner. The Nerazzurri’s reaction was immediate with the equalizer, which arrived in the 60 minute from another corner: Omar turned the shot onto the crossbar and then it was turned into the net by the goalkeeper Esposito. Lozza, who had just came on, tried to give Atalanta the lead but was always denied by the goalkeeper on 67 and 69 minutes. On 73 minutes, Ceresoli wriggled himself free of his marker in the box but he was denied by an excellent save from Esposito. However, the Nerazzurri eventually went ahead in the 81st minute thanks to Chiwisa (in the photo), who tapped Sidibe’s shot in, which had been parried by the goalkeeper. This was the Zambian midfielder’s first goal for Atalanta, as he arrived during the summer transfer window. However, Samp equalized through Malagrida in the 90th minute, who got to it before everyone and sealed the 2-2 draw.
