FIRST HALF

45' HALFTIME - Nothing to separate the two sides after 45 minutes, we'll be back after the break!

39' ATALANTA CHANCE - Zalewski goes for an acrobatic volley, hissing narrowly wide

19' Athletic Club have a chance with Maroan, who volleys wide over the crossbar

18' Kossounou comes to the rescue with a clearance into the box

2' ATALANTA CHANCE - set up by Zalewski, Bellanova breaks free on the counter all the way to the byline before rolling the ball across to Scamacca. Unfortunately, our number 9 fails to convert
