00:00APOCOSTA and Edison also come back in since Friday when many of the regulars
00:06were rested with this match in mind. Alex Baranguer and Uri Baciccia have both
00:11been ruled out as well, whilst Inigo Ruiz de Gallaretta drops to the bench.
00:16Here we go, Atalanta against Athletic Club, Bergamo meets Bilbao.
00:26Sconi combining with Zalewski, he's the one that delivers, Scamacca is there!
00:38Atalanta ahead as the protests continue. Gianluca Scamacca who only scored his first
00:46Champions League goal in the previous come-from-behind victory against Chelsea
00:51has them ahead against Athletic Club. Zalewski who delivered the service on his
01:00first start in the competition, having played for Inter briefly off the bench in
01:05last season's final. He was clearly onside, they were appealing perhaps for a foul there by Scamacca.
01:10There's a rose to make that header his. Did he use excessive force to create the space?
01:21The referee didn't think so, he had a good view of it in fairness, Danny Michele.
01:25Aintal parade as the defender in question. He was fouled. Here goes to Ketelara.
01:35Vivian going with him, to Ketelara though, still may be able to make something of this.
01:40Berlusconi brings it down, has the hit, oh and it whistles just right! That was a really good effort!
01:47Berlusconi just manufacturing that glimpse of goal, it was out of the reach of the goalkeeper,
01:52that's how close it was. Really good effort, really well struck.
01:57Berlusconi. 20-8 now.
02:04Berlusconi swings it in, it's a good one, oh, it's back up the post!
02:10Off-way traffic really, might have been potentially an offside in there again.
02:16It rose really well to meet it, the goalkeeper absolutely nowhere near it.
02:24Oh no, Seymour wasn't getting that, he was a relieved spectator to see the ball bounce back to him off the frame of his goal.
02:32He'll be content to go in at the interval, he's trailing by one and then they will reassess the situation.
02:38They have the opportunity to do that here because that is the half-time whistle.
02:45Someone found underway once again then.
02:48Atalanta to get the game restarted, a game that they've been in charge of thus far.
02:54Skamaka's early goal separating them.
02:57The match press conference yesterday about how they need to pull together despite the absentees.
03:04And here come Atalanta.
03:08Zappacosta's on the charge.
03:10Skamaka in the middle, takes the shot on himself to Zappacosta.
03:12And Uno Simon is behind it and not overly extended by it.
03:15Nikola Zalewski.
03:17There's cost him the caution, this was the chance for Zappacosta.
03:20Look at the space he was in when he initially received it.
03:22Driving at Paredes, got away from him, got the shot away.
03:25Too close to the goalkeeper really.
03:27Berlusconi touching the free-kick short to De Rhone.
03:30Kick short to De Rhone and then getting it back again from Zalewski, Berlusconi.
03:37Ketelara touching it off for Zappacosta to strike it.
03:41That is right.
03:44Still going in search of his first goal of the season.
03:46He's only ever scored once in UEFA club competition, Davide Zappacosta.
03:52He brought up his half-century in it.
03:55Playing the home game with Sporting as they conclude their campaign and, in all likelihood,
04:01it will be the conclusion of their campaign in its entirety.
04:05Not just the league phase.
04:07But that might change if they can get something here.
04:10Opens up for Gourazeta to level the game.
04:14Just like that, they barely threatened in the match, but Gourazeta scores for the fourth
04:20time in this league phase.
04:23Four of the five that Athletic Club have got at this stage of the competition.
04:31This one's something of a gift in the way that possession came his way,
04:35but he kept a really cool head to make the most of it.
04:47Through the only change, Adam Ola-Lukman as well, being readied.
04:50Zalewski and Zalewski, the two who combined for the early Atalanta goal.
04:55All those two make way.
04:58Zalewski, who's yet to start in the Champions League,
05:00comes off the bench for the fourth time in this league phase.
05:15The worst result for Atalanta.
05:17It's certainly not the one that they were hoping for.
05:23The top eight finish would still very much be in their own hands.
05:27Should it stay this way and elsewhere.
05:29That's a really good ball.
05:31It might not stay this way because Athletic Club have turned it around.
05:34And they lead by two goals to one.
05:38Nico Serrano has only just come on,
05:41but he has got what could be a huge goal for his side.
05:45His first in the Champions League.
05:48What a way to make an impact.
05:53And for much of this match, you wouldn't have seen this coming.
06:02It's a really good ball in from Navarro over the head of Gasunu,
06:05and arriving behind him to a player.
06:09A really cool finish. First time finish.
06:12To deal with it. Full advantage of it.
06:15And they could be in again with Navarro through the middle.
06:19Time to set his sights.
06:20Oh, it's another one.
06:24Robert Navarro feels a huge blow to Atalanta's hopes of automatic qualification,
06:32but in doing so keeps his team in contention to qualify.
06:38On a night when it looked like they might be bowing out effectively fairly quietly.
06:43Not a bit of it.
06:45Three games without a goal prior to this in the Champions League.
06:53Kristović in the middle, still with the...
06:55Charleston Ketalara.
06:57Kristović going up there, nearly came back his way.
06:59Just wouldn't quite sit for him.
07:01Ahanul with the hit.
07:02Took it on first time.
07:06Here goes Sulemala.
07:10There'll be frustrations for Palladino about some of the defending as well,
07:13but full credit for the character that Athletic Club has shown.
07:16Now they need to defend.
07:18Towards it.
07:19The Ketalara got the touch.
07:20Lukman's there.
07:21Touched in by Kristović.
07:25They're back with him.
07:26One Atalanta.
07:27This is not over yet.
07:30For the second game in succession.
07:33He did so at Pizzo on Friday night.
07:37And he's done so here.
07:40Lukman was onside.
07:41Nikola!
07:42He's the one that cut it back.
07:43Nikola!
07:44Nikola!
07:45Nikola!
07:47And the substitute does the rest.
07:49He has made a difference.
07:51The player he replaced got the game's opening goal.
07:54Gianluca Skamaka.
07:56Is there going to be time for Atalanta to take the free kick?
07:59There is not.
08:00That's the full time whistle.
08:02Athletic Club keep alive their hopes of qualification.
08:05With a stirring second half comeback.
08:08To inflict a big blow on Atalanta's prospects of automatic qualification.
08:14premium or atalanta's prospects.
08:17He's, with a four-time win,
08:18playing a big win.
