"Lazar Samardzic and Mario Pasalic were on target as Atalanta produced a late comeback to beat Club Brugge 2-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday. Christos Tzolis' well-executed opener had the visitors ahead by the break at New Balance Arena but Brugge were denied making it two wins from two in the league phase as the hosts fought back to rebound from a 4-0 hammering at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain."
"Tzolis tested home goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi early in the second half, while half-time substitute Davide Zappacosta dragged wide after bringing it down out of the air. Atalanta found a way back into the game when visiting goalkeeper Nordin Jackers upended Pasalic when trying to palm away the ball and Samardzic coolly sent him the wrong way with an effort into the right corner."
Atalanta recovered from a 4-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain to overturn a deficit and defeat Club Brugge 2-1 in the Champions League. Christos Tzolis gave Brugge the lead with a curled strike just outside the area. Atalanta struggled to create meaningful first-half chances but improved after the break. Visiting goalkeeper Nordin Jackers fouled Mario Pasalic, enabling Lazar Samardzic to score and level the match. A well-worked corner routine allowed Pasalic to nod in the winner with three minutes remaining. Hugo Vetlesen nearly restored Brugge's lead while Davide Zappacosta and Lorenzo Bernasconi had notable attempts for Atalanta.
