In football, scoring chances bring you closer to it, but what matters is materializing them. Tell it to the Atalanta and the Bayer Leverkusen, that this Thursday experienced the troubles and the blessing respectively in this sense. The Italian team was ostensibly superior to the German in the match corresponding to the first leg of the round of 16, but the final score reflected a tight 3-2 that leaves everything more than open for the second leg in Leverkusen.
However, and despite the fact that he dominated the Atalantathe first to hit was the Leverkusen. Specifically, in minute 11, when Aranguiz surprised Musso with a shot from outside the area.
But the local reaction was swift, and Malinovskyi and Muriel the roles as scorer and assistant were exchanged to turn the score around with two goals in minutes 23′ and 25′.
With that 2-1, the break was reached, and four minutes after the break it was Murielagain assisted by Malinovskyi and after starring in a great individual action, the one who doubled the advantage predicting a landslide.
However, the Atalanta he did not score again and the one who reduced distances was Moussa Diaby at 63′ with a nice left-footed shot with a thread to achieve a 3-2 that did not move from the light.
On the other hand, in matches also played this Thursday at 9:00 p.m., the Rangers won 3-2 at Red Star and the Braga did the same by defeating Monaco for 2-0.
