Atalanta advance to League last 16 after 4-1 win over Dortmund

In a dramatic second‑leg play‑off, Atalanta staged a comeback to win 4‑1 over Borussia Dortmund, with a late penalty sealing the victory. Three red cards and a winning spot‑kick in added time turned the game into a thriller, earning the Bergamo club a spot in the Champions League round of 16.

The win keeps Atalanta in the hunt for European places in Serie A, as they sit seventh with 26 games played. Key performers include Nikola Krstović, the club’s top scorer, and striker Gianluca Scamacca, while coach Raffaele Palladino’s side has shown they can beat Italy’s top teams.
