Buts : Lookman (51e), Zaniolo (88e)
Nobody passes.
Best defense in the competition, Atalanta kept a clean sheet for the fourth time in four Champions League matches this Wednesday. A clean sheet coupled with a very important victory on the pitch in Stuttgart (0-2). Charles De Ketelaere broke the deadlock with an effective overflow followed by an offering for Ademola Lookman (0-1, 51e). Already the eighth goal this season from the great man in the last Europa League final.
Atalanta hit the nail on the head money time taking advantage of a blunder by Anthony Rouault, whose failed clearance allowed Nicolo Zaniolo to make the break (0-2, 88e). The Bergamo club is 9e of the ranking, just one point out of the top 8, before challenging Young Boys, still at zero, on November 26.
Go higher!
Goals: Hadj (81e) // Konaté (45e+2, 58e), Guindo (86e)
Expulsion: Nadje (80e)
Finally a Pep who wins.
The day after the slap suffered by Guardiola’s Manchester City, Pep Lijnders washed away the honor of RB Salzburg by winning on the Feyenoord pitch (1-3). The work of Jürgen Klopp’s former assistant was made easier by the failed recovery of opposing goalkeeper Timon Wellenreuther, punished by Oscar Gloukh’s perfect cross on the head of Karim Konaté, left alone by the defense (0-1, 45e+2). The Ivorian did it again with a beautiful half-volley from the left on a corner (0-2, 58e).
Outnumbered, Feyenoord regained hope thanks to Anis Hadj (1-2, 81e). Konaté missed the hat-trick by sending his penalty over the bar (85e), but Daouda Guindo ensured the Austrian victory with a heavy strike under the bar (1-3, 86e). Salzburg therefore opens its counter in this Champions League and returns to two points from 24e place, synonymous with dams.
One more direct competitor for PSG.
