The first time of the 3 points in the Champions League in Bergamo is never forgotten. Forcing and possession of the ball against the impassable wall of the yellow submarine, until Pessina decides to open it in a split using the tray from the bottom of Zapata for the first victory of Atalanta in front of his audience, 1-0 in the presence of a Young Boys barricadero and distant relative of the team that had mocked Manchester United in comeback. The Brianza is the first Italian to score in the maximum continental competition for the Bergamo side, immediately forced to do without a very titular like Gosens.
At 5 ‘the corridor in the heart of the defense opened by Malinovskyi to Zapata leads to the left on the grass rejected with open hands, but during a guest break the German international surrenders to an elongation to the thigh with Maehle replacing him (11’ ). Just the Dane converges from the left, making Hefti deflect the attempt in the arms of Von Ballmoos (13 ‘), while four turns of the hand later the joy of Toloi, author of the volley in front of the small deflected area running into his own goal from Lauper to anticipate Djimsiti, she is turned off in her throat by the Var review for offside of the Brazilian on the Ukrainian’s free-kick parable. At 22 ‘the only real home striker tries again with his head falling on the first corner in favor of the same specialist in inactive situations, ball on the bottom. Five minutes later, chills also for Musso, and it is the first time of the evening: Freuler gets the ball blown by Martins who serves Elia on the line, but the conclusion, not crossed, passes high, lapping the outside of the net. The Dane tries second time on the scrape of the Swiss who was rejected by Camara (32 ‘) without closing the low shot before switching sides with Zappacosta. At 45 ‘Pessina throws himself dead body on Toloi’s cross to return from the left on the developments of the third corner from Bergamo, without being able to direct towards the goal, and a little later there is the first shot in the mirror of others by Garcia, a central left from the tail end to the last corner from the right of Aebischer.
In the second half Toloi tries on Maehle’s discharge, reached by a Malinovskyi who moved to the left on the offensive front, engaging the guest captain in the ground (10 ‘), much more decisive (17’) on Zappacosta, reached from the bottom by Zapata after a smooth by Pessina. That at 23 ‘is found in a small area for the decisive deviation under the crossbar, with the single terminal and cheat Lauper and Camara. Muriel (quadriceps knocked out on August 28 against Bologna) is also seen together with Pasalic, while Wagner, regretting having covered himself with Rieder, inserts the mobile tip Mambimbi. The heavy Colombian-bis at home wastes De Roon’s short free-kick (33 ‘, left straight to the side of the near post). At 37 ‘again the Swiss goalkeeper opposes the assistman’s surge on a cross from Toloi and the ball thrown back in by Zappacosta. Von Ballmoos opposes Muriel with an open hand from two steps to the ninetieth on Pasalic’s la, Martins ‘long stroke (2’ recovery) does not scare anyone.
