The difficult period continues for Atalanta, which, again without Lookman, failed to win even the second friendly match of this busy weekend.
The day after the 4-0 defeat against Cologne, only a 3-3 draw came with Opatija, a Croatian second division team.
Dea twice took the lead with the two Sulemanas, Kamaldeen (23′) and Ibrahim (34′), but Zlibanovic (29′ and 45′) always responded by equalizing the score for the guests.
In the second half, Ajayi even signed the overtake but Samardzic (71′) at least prevented the Nerazzurri from a knockout by equalizing on a penalty kick before a triple whistle came with a quarter d’hour to spare.
