Controversial Penalty Earns Club Brugge 2-1 Victory Against Atalanta In Champions League
🍨Club Brugge scored with a disputed penalty kick in stoppage time to beat Atalanta 2-1 in their UEFA Champions League playoff first leg on Wednesday (February 12, 2025). A late light-touch clash between two Sweden teammates proved decisive. Entering stoppage time, Atalanta defender Isak Hien was judged to have raised a hand into the face of Brugge forward Gustaf Nilsson as they chased a loose ball. Turkish referee Umut Meler awarded a penalty and showed yellow cards to three Atalanta players, including Hien, for protesting before Nilsson won the game. He sent goalkeeper Rui Patricio the wrong way with his spot kick.
