It’s the third victory in as many matches for the U18s coached by Giovanni Bosi, who have qualified for the 2022 Viareggio Cup Last 16, having finished top of their group having a perfect score. The last Group fixture, which took place in Castelnuovo Magra, saw the Nerazzurri claim a spectacular 6-4 win over the Nigerians Garden City Panthers. Samuele Bertini and Davide Stabile put in an outstanding performance, each one scored a hat-trick.

So, the Nerazzurri U18s sit top of Group 6 on 9 points, the only team to win all the matches so far, and thanks to this result Atalanta have qualified for the Last 16. The Nerazzurri will face Parma, the second-best third team qualified from Group A (groups from 1 to 3). The Round of 16 fixture is scheduled for Thursday 24 March with kick-off at 15 CET at the Stadio Benelli in Lido di Camaiore.
