Both teams created chances, hoping to alter the scoreline, however the goalkeepers on both ends were impressive for the rest of the game.
Evjen’s goal would eventually decide the encounter and Gian Piero Gasperini’s men will play another friendly on Friday, they face Crema.
The team will return to competitive action on January 4 away against Spezia.
