Atalanta reach last 16 as Samardzic penalty settles chaotic Dortmund tie

Lazar Samardzic scored with the final kick of the game to send Atalanta into the Champions League last 16 following a chaotic victory over Borussia Dortmund.

The substitute kept his composure to smash a penalty into the roof of the net deep into stoppage time.

However, the decisive moment was overshadowed by a furious finale that saw three red cards brandished moments before the winner.

Stoppage-time mayhem

Tensions boiled over in Bergamo as the high-stakes encounter reached its conclusion.

An incident in added time reportedly left a player with a head injury as the referee struggled to regain control.

Official confirmation of the dismissed players is expected shortly following the mass confrontation.

Samardzic the hero

Despite the ugly scenes, the Serbia midfielder remained focused to convert the spot-kick.

The result ensures the Serie A club progress to the knockout stages at the expense of their German opponents.
