Second half
46′ The second half begins, Catania kicks off, in the meantime AtalantaU23 replaces the injured Diao with De Nipoti
Commentary at the end of the first half
The statistics say that Catania had twice as much ball possession as AtalantaU23 who didn’t seem to have the right attitude in this first half. On the other hand, Zeoli’s men started the match well with the Cianci – Di Carmine duo well supported by Cicerelli and an excellent Welbeck all over the pitch. There aren’t many real scoring chances but Cianci’s one in the 21st minute really was a throw away what would have been a deserved advantage. For now, things are going well with two results in our favor and with this ball possession we are already halfway there, just don’t let your guard down.
