Club Brugge stun Atalanta as they progress to Champions League last 16
BERGAMO, Italy, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Teenager Chemsdine Talbi scored an early double as Club Brugge stormed into a three-goal lead before holding off a second-half onslaught for a 3-1 away win over Atalanta in their Champions League knockout phase playoff second-leg tie on Tuesday. Ferran Jutgla netted the visitors' other goal as Brugge stunned the Italian side with a 3-0 halftime lead, but they had to fight a desperate rearguard action in the second half as their hosts looked to conjure up an unlikely comeback. Ademola Lookman pulled one goal back for Atalanta but then had a penalty saved by veteran goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who made several other important stops to stymie home hopes and see the Belgian side advance to the last 16 5-2 on aggregate. Atalanta's elimination added to a calamitous night for Italian football, following AC Milan's exit earlier when they were held to a 1-1 draw by visitors Feyenoord of the Netherlands and went out of the Champions League 2-1 on aggregate.

Atalanta v Club Brugge
Atalanta will aim to overturn a deficit on aggregate and secure passage to the Round of 16 of the Champions League when they welcome Club Brugge tonight. Atalanta looked set to continue their European run last week when they went to Jan Breydel Stadium to face Club Brugge. However, the Italian side found themselves trailing due to a Ferran Jutgla goal in the 15th minute. Mario Pasalic's equaliser came just before the break and the encounter was expected to finish in a stalemate but Gustaf Nilsson's added-time penalty strike gave the Belgians a first-leg advantage. Gian Piero Gasperini will hope to have the home atmosphere on his back when he rallies his troops at Gewiss Stadium tonight. Meanwhile, Club Brugge are set to face an attacking onslaught from Atalanta as they have a slender lead to defend. They squeezed through to the Champions League playoffs after finishing 24th in the group stages thanks to a favourable goal-difference over 25th-placed Dinamo Zagreb. Club Brugge stretched their unbeaten European home run to four consecutive games by securing a thrilling victory over La Dea. Nicky Hayen's side have progressed to the next round of European clashes when they have gained the first home-leg advantage in 14 of their 16 such situations. Here are the predicted line-ups for the match Atalanta (3-4-1-2): Patricio; Posch, Hien, Djimsiti; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Zappacosta; Pasalic; De Ketelaere, Retegui. Club Brugge (4-2-3-1): Mignolet; Seys, Ordonez, Mechele, De Cuyper; Jashari, Oyedika; Talbi, Vanaken, Tzolis; Jutgla. | GIFN

Late penalty earns Brugge 2-1 home win over Atalanta
BRUGES, Belgium, Feb 12 (Reuters) - A stoppage-time penalty by substitute Gustaf Nilsson secured Club Brugge a 2-1 home win against Atalanta in the first leg of their Champions League knockout phase playoff on Wednesday. Ferran Jutgla gave a confident Brugge the lead after 15 minutes with a measured strike before Atalanta's Mario Pasalic levelled with a header just before halftime, netting from a lovely cross by Davide Zappacosta. But Brugge were awarded a penalty for Isak Hien's foul on Nilsson in injury time and the Swedish striker made no mistake in slotting home. Atalanta will host Brugge in the reverse fixture on Tuesday, with the winner of the tie facing Lille or Aston Villa in competition's last 16.
