"Alex Castiello was the big hero for Milan Primavera in their game against Roma this afternoon, scoring the winner when just a few minutes were remaining. Giovanni Renna and his boys headed into the game with decent confidence, having remained unbeaten for four games in the league, albeit with just one win. Indeed, they didn't let the late goal conceded against Napoli get them down, entering the pitch with purpose."
"The first half was rather even, which was to be expected given Roma are second in the standings, and both sides had chances to take the lead. The Gialloossi came closest with a shot that hit the bar, but if you don't take your chances, you often get punished. Sure enough, it was Milan that took the lead in the 48th minute thanks to their star Filippo Plazzotta, who was left with a little bit of space on the edge of the box."
"The away side had some more chances after that, but Milan held on and eventually found their opening. The substitute Mattia Angelicchio tried his luck with a good run into the box, and his deflected shot/cross fell perfectly for Alex Castiello, who steadied himself and then found the back of the net. This was in the 89th minute, and Milan were able to see out the game after that."
Milan Primavera defeated Roma 2-1 thanks to an 89th-minute winner from Alex Castiello. Milan entered the match unbeaten in four league games, carrying confidence despite limited wins. The first half remained balanced with Roma creating the clearest chance when a shot struck the bar. Filippo Plazzotta gave Milan the lead early in the second half with a precise low strike into the corner. Roma equalised less than ten minutes later through Alessandro Di Nunzio. Substitute Mattia Angelicchio’s deflected effort presented Castiello the chance to win the match, securing a morale-boosting victory.
