Atalanta, who had not won any of their last five home matches in the Champions League (3 draws, 2 defeats) ended this series by beating Sturm Graz 5-0 during the 7th day of the C1 on Tuesday .
Among the Bergamasques, who are 3rd (14 points), Charles De Ketelaere scored the 3rd goal (63rd) and assisted on the 4th (90th) Dimitri Lavalée played the entire match with the Austrian club (3 points, 30th). To end a series of five Serie A and Italian Super Cup matches without a victory, Gian Piero Gasperini notably removed Ederson and Ademola Lookman to make way for the attacking duo Charles De Ketelaere-Mateo Retegui supported by Lazar Samardzic .
Graz, who had not played competitively since December 11, was given the first big opportunity by Amady Camara, launched in depth by Lavalée (11th). Just after, Retegui opened the scoring with a point-blank shot (12th, 1-0). The rest of the first half was dominated for a long time by Atalanta, who continued to push but failed to double the lead, first by De Ketelaere (17th), then by Zappacosta (28th) and finally by Retegui (44th)..

At the restart, Kjell Schepen took out a ball from Lookman (57th) before losing but this feat was not enough to prevent Atalanta from making the difference through Mario Pasalic (58th, 2-0), De Ketelaere (63rd, 3-0), Lookman (88th, 4-0) and Marco Brescianini (90th+5, 5-0). De Ketelaere has taken part in 9 goals (4 goals, 5 assists) in seven matches in this Champions League, which allows him to beat the record of a certain Kevin De Bruyne in the competition. Just that.
