It was disappointing as to how, Atalanta did manage to draw against a side like Club Brugge. It didn’t really matter if they were at home, given the squad Atalanta have got, the Europa league defending champions at that. They ought to have taken all 3 points in this game but nope, they resolved to sharing points which doesn’t really serve them well but, it’s still okay.
Atalanta may be a bit shocked by Club Brugge's ability to withstand their attacks. So far in the match, not only were they able to withstand attacks, but Club Brugge were also able to dominate a little more. They even took the lead first.
And Atalanta's defeat was the result of a penalty kick awarded to Club Brugge in extra time, and this is what has attracted the attention of many people, reaping the pros and cons, and no matter what, defeat is still a result and Atalanta must try even harder in the second leg.
