In the 85th minute, Krstović completed a one‑two with Zalewski down the middle before clearing the ball, and defender Kobel made a last‑ditch clearance. The keeper took a whack for his trouble, but Krstović was within his rights to compete for the ball. At 82 minutes, a counter by Atalanta saw Samardžić dance in from the right before a low diagonal drive missed the post.
