Atalanta Beats Dortmund 4-1 to Reach Champions League Last 16

On Wednesday, Atalanta triumphed over Borussia Dortmund with a 4-1 victory, advancing to the Champions League last 16 with a 4-3 aggregate score. The match saw Dortmund initially leading 2-0 from the first leg, but Atalanta equalized through goals from Gianluca Scamacca, David Zappacosta, and Mario Pasalic.
Karim Adeyemi's solo effort temporarily leveled the match, but Rami Bensebaini's second yellow card led to a penalty awarded to Atalanta in stoppage time. Lazar Samardz converted the penalty in the 98th minute, marking a dramatic finish.
Atalanta's coach, Raffaele Palladino, has led the team to an unbeaten streak of 10 matches since taking over in November. The victory also highlighted Dortmund's struggles, with coach Niko Kovac acknowledging the team's individual errors.
