UECL | Hapoel Tel-Aviv 0-1 Atalanta: Scamacca guarantees European place

UECL: Atalanta defeats Hapoel Tel-Aviv 1-0 in Conference League addition to European play

Within minutes of coming on as a substitute, Gianluca Scamacca secured Atalanta's spot in the Conference League by scoring against Hapoel Tel-Aviv. The Hungarians needed a result after their first leg ended in a goalless draw in Bergamo, Italy. The match took place at the DVTK Stadium in Miskolc, Hungary. Hapoel Tel-Aviv lacked starting player Charles De Ketelaere, while several other key players were also injured.

Atalanta, who had started their Serie A season with a 2-1 win over Sassuolo, dominated the first half with several chances but went ahead thanks to Scamacca's finish. Raoul Bellanova scored for Hapoel Tel-Aviv with a Nikola Krstovic assist, but Atalanta's defense held firm. Despite several late attempts by Hapoel Tel-Aviv, including a close save from goalkeeper Ederson, Atalanta sealed the win.
