It looked like it would be 1-0 at half-time, but Atalanta attacked down the left again, Bernasconi crossed sharply into the box, Kobel punched the ball away, but Zappacosta reacted quicker than Bellingham and shot from just outside the area. Bensebaini unfortunately deflected the ball past Kobel (45), meaning the 2-0 lead from the first leg was already gone by half-time.<\/p>\nBVB continued to make too many simple mistakes in their build-up play after the break and too often made the wrong decisions, but Atalanta were also vulnerable.

Shortly after that, Mario Pasalic headed in de Roon's cross from the left to make it 3-0 (57). Kovac reacted by bringing on Fabio Silva and Carney Chukwuemeka for Beier and Brandt (60). And because not much changed, Yan Couto and Karim Adeyemi came on for Ryerson and Bellingham ten minutes later.<\/p>\nIt was now a completely new game. BVB still needed a goal to take the game into extra time and couldn't afford to concede another. Guirassy and Silva had the chance to make it 1-3 in the 74th minute, but seconds later Adeyemi turned the ball into the far corner with a delicate shot.

Bensebaini raised his foot quite high to clear the cross in the penalty area with his heel, but in doing so connected with Nikola Krstovic's head, which was quite low. The Atalanta player's bleeding wound led to a VAR check, a red card for Schlotterbeck (on the bench), a second yellow card for Bensebaini and a last-minute penalty, which was converted by Lazar Samardzic (90+8).<\/p>\nOutlook \n<\/b>For BVB, the Bundesliga continues on Saturday with the derby against FC Bayern Munich.
