Atalanta achieved an important and at the same time nerve-wracking victory on the road against Marseille in the fourth round of the Champions League, achieving a minimal victory of 1:0 with less than an hour of compensation.
The start of the match could have turned out much easier for the guests - already in the first half, Charles De Quetelaret did not convert the penalty, allowing Marseille to spin.
After the break, Atalanta continued to press and still scored, but Ademoli Lookman's goal was disallowed after a VAR review for offside. Raul Bellanova also made a great moment, but with his head he broke through the pose from a prominent position.
It seemed like the teams would end up tied, but the new blood of Lazar Samardzic changed everything.
The Serbian fighter, who appeared on the field a few minutes before the final, passed the opponent and brilliantly placed the ball in the far corner, bringing three points to the Atalanti team.
The club from Bergamo, having collected seven points after four rounds, is in an excellent position in the fight for the playoffs. Marseille, looming three points short, improves its European Cup prospects.
Marseille - Atalanta 0:1.
