UCL: Lookman sets personal record in Atalanta's victory over Shakhtar

Posted : 03 October 2024

Super Eagles forward Ademola Lookman played a crucial role in Atalanta's impressive 3-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at Veltins Arena, contributing a goal and an assist. This match marked Lookman's return to action for Atalanta in their second Champions League outing, following a disappointing goalless draw against Arsenal in their initial game two weeks prior.


In this fixture, Atalanta came into the match as clear favorites, given their stronger squad on paper. They wasted no time in asserting their dominance, taking control of the game early on and pressing Shakhtar Donetsk into their half.


The breakthrough came in the 21st minute, with Lookman once again showcasing his ability. He skillfully received the ball on the wing, made a well-timed run into the penalty area, and assisted Berat Djimsiti, who finished with precision to open the scoring at 1-0.


Before the halftime whistle, Lookman added to his team's tally. He connected with a pass from Sead Kolasinac and unleashed a powerful shot, scoring his first Champions League goal after just three appearances in the tournament, bringing the score to 2-0.


Atalanta continued their dominance in the second half, maintaining possession and creating better scoring opportunities. Their efforts were rewarded just three minutes after the break when Raoul Bellanova scored a header, effectively sealing the match at 3-0.


Lookman played for 60 minutes before being substituted for Mario Retegui, having made a significant impact in the match. His performance not only highlighted his importance to the team but also demonstrated his growing confidence in the Champions League.


The match concluded with Atalanta securing a comfortable 3-0 victory, reaffirming their potential in the competition and marking an important moment for Lookman in his European journey.
