Atlanta continued its imaginative career in its first participation in the UEFA Champions League
after its 4-1 victory over Valencia in a fun encounter in the first leg of the last sixteen at the San Siro stadium.
Coach Gian Piero Gasperini’s team advanced two goals at the end of the first half after Hans Harbor and Josip Ilcic scored,
while Valencia denied the post.
Remo Froller’s goal with a great shot and a second goal from Hatpor seemed to end the confrontation in practice,
but the alternative, Denis Chereshev, gave the visiting Spanish team a glimmer of hope with a goal outside.
Valencia, twice European champions, will host their Italian rival at Mestalla Stadium in the second leg on the tenth of March.
