In the first half of Marseille-Atalanta, the goddess had plenty of offensive opportunities, but unfortunately for Jurić, the goal did not come in these 45 minutes.

A familiar script for Atalanta this season, especially in recent matches.

Plenty of chances in every single game, but scoring is proving difficult or, in the Champions League, the challenge of converting them is much greater.

One key opportunity came in the first half. At the 13th minute, Krstović earned a penalty kick.

De Ketelaere takes the shot, but Rulli makes a fantastic save, diving well to block the shot. The Argentine goalkeeper was brilliant, and Atalanta was unlucky.

Marseille also had their chances. In the 23rd minute, Højbjerg provided an assist to Aubameyang, who shot with his right foot, but Carnesecchi deflected it for a corner.

Another opportunity 9 minutes later for the French team, with Højbjerg alone in the box but wasting Greenwood’s assist by shooting over the bar.

Another crucial chance for Atalanta that could have led to a goal for Krstović at the 35th minute.

Lookman enters the box and tries to set up Ederson, a deflection gives the ball to the former Lecce player, who unfortunately shoots way over the crossbar. That’s how the first half of Marseille-Atalanta ends.

Second half of Marseille-Atalanta

The second half begins and Atalanta immediately proves dangerous. A cross from the left by Zappacosta, Bellanova heads it wide from a very favorable position.

An attempt at the 53rd minute by Greenwood at the edge of the box, but Bellanova clears the danger.

At the 63rd minute, Greenwood’s shot is blocked, then Aubameyang sees his shot saved just steps away from the goal.

After many attempts, Atalanta finally finds the back of the net through Lookman.

Bellanova crosses it to the Nigerian forward, who can’t miss from close range.

The goal is scored, but a VAR check on Krstović’s starting position in the build-up changes everything.

Goal disallowed for offside position. The game resumes at 0-0, with Atalanta unable to find peace from misfortune.

At the 77th minute, Marseille creates another great opportunity, with Greenwood taking a free-kick, but Carnesecchi is alert and makes the save.

The deadlock is finally broken by Samardžić. The Serbian midfielder, as a substitute, concludes a fantastic counterattack by Atalanta with a shot from 35 meters.

Unstoppable for Rulli, a crucial 0-1 lead for Atalanta at the 89th minute. An odyssey in this game, given another VAR check and doubts about the validity of the goal.

A handball by Ederson in the penalty area raises questions about the goal’s legality. The referee confirms the goal, this time with no “buts” to add.

Atalanta rightfully takes the lead after an entire game of suffering due to the lack of goals.

Marseille besieges Atalanta in the final minutes, with great chances from Angel Gomes and Greenwood causing anxiety among the Bergamo fans.

After 96 minutes of intense action, Marseille-Atalanta ends with a 0-1 result. A hard-fought, earned victory.
