Atalanta
Borussia Dortmund
Atalanta produced a devastating first-half performance to overturn their aggregate deficit and eliminate Borussia Dortmund from the Champions League. Gianluca Scamacca's early opener from close range set the tone after Nicola Zalewski's initial effort was saved, before Davide Zappacosta's spectacular strike from outside the box doubled the lead. Mario Pašalić's header from a Marten de Roon cross effectively sealed the tie early in the second half, giving La Dea a commanding position. Despite Karim Adeyemi's well-taken consolation goal and late substitutions from Dortmund, the German side's discipline collapsed in stoppage time with Ramy Bensebaini's second yellow card and Nico Schlotterbeck's red card for dissent, allowing Lazar Samardžić to add insult to injury from the penalty spot.
