"Frankfurt came close on a number of occasions early on, before Atalanta were twice denied by the woodwork - first off Ademola Lookman's shot from range and then from Gianluca Scamacca's instinctive close-range attempt. Atalanta then put on a clinic at Deutsche Bank Park after the break, adding three goals in the space of five minutes as Lookman broke the deadlock on the hour mark with a powerful volley."
"Matters could have been different, with Morten Hjulmand initially shown a straight red card nine minutes in, but he saw the card demoted to a yellow following a VAR review. Quenda then put the hosts ahead as he was on hand to latch onto Nordin Jackers' save off Geny Catamo's shot, tapping home on the spin in the 24th minute."
Raffaele Palladino recorded his first win as Atalanta head coach with a commanding 3-0 victory away to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Champions League. Frankfurt threatened early and struck the woodwork through Ademola Lookman and Gianluca Scamacca before Atalanta produced a rapid three-goal burst after halftime. Lookman volleyed the opener on the hour, Ederson dinked a second two minutes later, and Charles De Ketelaere finished from a rebound. Sporting CP won 3-0 over Club Brugge as Geovany Quenda starred, Morten Hjulmand's early red was downgraded to yellow by VAR, and Luis Suarez and Francisco Trincao also scored.
