An important change is needed at Leverkusen: Xabi Alonso could draw from the bench to liven things up, relying on a center forward like Boniface and Schick. Pasalic is hot in Atalanta.9.48pm
The first half was one-sided in Dublin, with Atalanta dominating unchallenged for long stretches of the match. Bayer Leverkusen appears scared and Gasperini’s team takes advantage of it, driven by a Lookman in great form. First the punctual and precise insertion on the occasion of the 1-0, then the splendid serpentine that leads to the doubling. A perfect first half for a team, the Nerazzurri, impeccable.9.47pm

Atalanta are still dangerous, once again with Scamacca who, on this occasion with a left foot, finishes inaccurately over the crossbar.9.21pm
17′Timid reaction from Leverkusen with Frimpong causing panic in the right lane and crossing for Grimaldo who sensationally misses the impact on the ball. The ball lands at the feet of Palacios who attempts a shot which however turns out to be too slow and too central.9.19pm
12′GOAL! ATALANTA-Bayer Leverkusen 1-0! Ademola Network LOOKMAN! Insistent action by the Nerazzurri who arrive at the cross with Zappacosta, the ball crosses the entire penalty area and lands at the feet of Lookman who, with the net practically empty, makes no mistake.
