MILAN – The Primavera team saw off the challenge of Atalanta to begin their defence of the Trofeo Giacinto Facchetti with a victory this afternoon. The U-19s had to come from behind in their first league outing of the 2012/13 campaign, but eventually ran out 3-2 winners. A superb strike from Palma gave the visitors a 20th-minute lead before Forte's double and Terrani's spot-kick turned the tables. Gagliardini added a second for Atalanta deep into stoppage time but Inter held on to put their first three points on the board. The Italian champions are back!
