Dramatic Late Penalty Seals Club Brugge's Victory Over Atalanta in UEFA Champions League
Club Brugge secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Atalanta in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League knockout play-offs, thanks to a controversial stoppage-time penalty. The match, held at the Jan Breydel Stadium, saw the Belgian side take an early lead through Ferran Jutgla, who finished superbly after a brilliant assist from Chemsdine Talbi. However, Atalanta equalized just before halftime when Mario Pasalic headed in a cross from Davide Zappacosta.
The game appeared to be heading for a draw until the 94th minute, when substitute Gustaf Nilsson went down in the penalty area under contact from Atalanta’s Isak Hien. Referee Umut Meler awarded the penalty, and Nilsson calmly converted to give Club Brugge the win. The decision sparked outrage from Atalanta, with manager Gian Piero Gasperini storming down the tunnel in protest.
Atalanta, missing several key players due to illness and injury, struggled to match Club Brugge’s intensity for much of the game. The Italian side will now look to regroup ahead of the second leg in Bergamo, where they will aim to overturn the deficit and advance to the next round. The winners of this tie will face either Aston Villa or Lille in the subsequent stage of the competition.
