“Falcão was cautioned for an argument, setting a combative early tone as Hapoel looked to unsettle Atalanta in the opening exchanges.”
“Atalanta made a double substitution, withdrawing Charles De Ketelaere and Mario Pašalić as the Italian side looked to freshen up their legs and reshape for the final half-hour.”
“Gianluca Scamacca, on the pitch for barely a minute after replacing Nikola Krstovic, powerfully converted from a corner to give Atalanta a 1-0 lead on the night and confirm their aggregate progression.”
Pivotal“Marcus Coco was booked for a foul as Hapoel grew increasingly frustrated in their attempts to find an equaliser, with the yellow card symptomatic of the tension in the closing stages.”
“Chico was booked for simulation in the dying minutes, an act that underlined Hapoel's desperation and Atalanta's calm control of the game's closing moments.”

Outstanding performance
Atalanta•MidfielderAtalanta came to Tel Aviv having done the hard work in the first leg, and they managed this second leg accordingly — patient, composed, and ruthless when the opportunity finally arrived. The match was a curious exercise in parity for long stretches, with both sides finishing level on possession, passes, and saves, but Atalanta's superior quality in the final third ultimately told. Gianluca Scamacca, introduced alongside Lorenzo Bernasconi in a double substitution on 71 minutes, converted from a corner just 60 seconds after stepping onto the pitch to settle any lingering anxiety about the tie. Hapoel had generated 54 dangerous attacks across the evening — more than double Atalanta's 29 — and enjoyed a spirited effort in front of their home support, but they created zero big chances and could not find a way past the Italian defence, leaving their European campaign ended at this stage.
