"Atalanta made the ideal start with five minutes on the clock when Lorenzo Bernasconi's cross into the area was not dealt with by Bensebaini, with the Dortmund defender inadvertently flicking the ball on for Gianluca Scamacca to tuck home at the back post."
"Adeyemi, however, had other ideas, with the Dortmund forward picking out the top-left corner with a sublime left-footed finish after combining with fellow substitute Carney Chukwuemeka to level the tie once more with 15 minutes remaining."
"Following a VAR review, a spot-kick was awarded, with Bensebaini sent off for a second bookable offence, with Samardzic stepping up to wrap a sensational strike from 12 yards out into the top corner with the last kick of the game."
Atalanta mounted a remarkable comeback against Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling Champions League encounter. After falling behind, Atalanta scored three goals to lead 3-0 on the night. Dortmund equalized through Karim Adeyemi's sublime finish, leveling the aggregate score. The match reached its climax in stoppage time when Ramy Bensebaini committed a high challenge on Nikola Krstovic, resulting in a penalty and his red card. Lazar Samardzic converted the spot-kick in the 98th minute, securing Atalanta's 4-3 aggregate victory and their passage to the last-16 of the Champions League.
