Hapoel Tel Aviv vs Atalanta BC

Atalanta booked their spot in the Conference League group stage with a hard-fought 0-1 win over Hapoel Tel Aviv in Miskolc, needing a second-half substitute to finally break down a stubborn opponent after a goalless first leg in Bergamo. The breakthrough came in the 72nd minute, when substitute Lorenzo Bernasconi struck a deflected shot from the edge of the box that fell for fellow substitute Gianluca Scamacca to tap in from close range. Hapoel had gone close earlier through Alkoukin and pushed hard for an equalizer, but keeper Marco Carnesecchi held firm. No cards or penalties were shown. The result sends Atalanta into the Conference League group stage, a much-needed win to open Sarri's tenure on a positive note. For Hapoel Tel Aviv, it's the end of the European road, though they can be proud of taking a Serie A side deep into a tight two-legged tie.
