The U17s (in the cover photo) beat Milan 3-2 in the first leg of the quarterfinals at the Centro Bortolotti. It was an intense and hard-fought game for both sides: the Nerazzurri gained the lead thanks to a brace from Manzoni but then the Rossoneri hit back, making it all level. It was Vavassori to score the decider at the end of the match.
On Sunday the U13s also triumphed in the Final 4 at the Olympic Training Centre in Tirrenia by defeating Fiorentina 3-1 on Saturday (a brace from Amalfitano and a goal by Lung) and beating Napoli (a brace from Fugazzola, goals from Lung and Paganotti) and Milan (goals by Lung, Amalfitano and Shala) by 4-2 both.
Great achievements were also earned by the women’s Academy. The U17s claimed a splendid 4-2 victory in the quarterfinals against Juventus thanks to a brace from Gregis and goals by Corbetta and Brusamolino. The U15s accomplished their mission as well by equalising 0-0 away to Milan on the sixth matchday (which is the second to last) of the Intraregional Phase and in this way securing a spot in the Final 8 in advance.
