The result of the match between Latina and Atalanta U23, which ended 2-0 in favor of the Pontini, was not recognized by the Serie C Sports Judge. The decision was taken following a complaint presented by Atalanta U23, who contested the non-compliance of the height of the goals of the Lazio stadium. According to the regulation, the suspension of the approval was accepted and the consignment was declared invalid until the matter is examined by the competent bodies.
Latina Calcio 1932 responded firmly to the protest, defining Atalanta U23's initiative as "instrumental and specious" and contrary to the values of sport and the principle of merit. The club stressed that the match started late only after the problem relating to the goals had been resolved and the referee had given the green light. The club states that it trusts that the matter will be evaluated in the competent bodies, respecting the regulations and sporting fairness, and undertakes to defend its reasons in all bodies through its lawyers.
