Friendly: Unconvincing Atalanta
Thursday 16 April, 2009

Atalanta warmed up for their clash with Reggina with a friendly win over amateur side Olginatese this afternoon.

The Orobici are still in the hunt for a UEFA Cup place but can't afford any more slip-ups as they prepare to take on Serie A's bottom side.

Gigi Del Neri's side weren't altogether convincing in a 4-2 win this afternoon, but a total of 20 players featured for La Dea in a disjointed encounter.

Marino Defendi, Simone Padoin, Luca Cigarini and youth team star Melania Gabbiadini found the net for the First Division side.

Ferdinando Coppola, Sergio Floccari, Cristiano Doni and Leonardo Talamonti weren't fit to play.

Atalanta (First half): Consigli; Garics, Pellegrino, Manfredini, Peluso; Defendi, De Ascentis, Guarente, Padoin, Valdes; Plasmati

Atalanta (Second half): Colombi; Garics (Barbetti 70), Capelli, Peluso, Bellini; Defendi, Cigarini, Parravicini, Paodin (Gabbiadini 68), Valdes (Girasole 66), Zaza
