One win, one draw so far for Allievi side at Final Eight

Roma’s Allievi Nazionali side have begun the Final Eight stage of the U17 league championship with one win and one draw from their opening two games

The eight teams are currently split into two groups of four, with the top two from each group advancing to the semi-finals on 17 June.

Defending champions Roma are on four points in Group 1 as things stand, having played two of their three group-stage matches so far. Alessandro Toti’s side fought back from a goal down to beat Bologna 2-1 on Saturday courtesy of goals from Enrico Brignola and Alessio Petruccelli, but were held to a 2-2 draw by Atalanta on Sunday, with Lirim Kastrati and Davide Frattesi finding the net for the Giallorossi.

The results so far mean Roma are in joint-first place in the group with Atalanta, ahead of third-placed Fiorentina on three points and with Atalanta propping up the rest with no points won.

The Giallorossi will face Fiorentina in the third and final Group 1 match at the Stadio Giuseppe Capanni in Savignano sul Rubicone on Tuesday at 18:00 CEST. Atalanta play Bologna in the other game.

Inter lead the way in Group 1 on six points, with Juventus in second place on four points. Palermo sit in third on one point, with Napoli bringing up the rear on no points.

All four semi-finalists will be decided on Tuesday 14 June, with the final set to take place at the Stadio Manuzzi in Cesena on Sunday 19 June (17:00 CEST kick-off).
