Mohamed Salah's Penalty Not Enough as Liverpool Crash Out of Europa League
Atalanta expertly saw out the game to secure a 1-1 draw against Liverpool in the Europa League semi-final first leg.
Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool the lead from the spot in the seventh minute, but Atalanta grew into the game and equalized through Duvan Zapata in the 32nd minute.
The second half was a tense affair, with both teams having chances to win the game. However, Atalanta held on for a valuable draw that gives them a slight advantage going into the second leg in Italy next week.
Liverpool will need to overturn the deficit if they want to reach the Europa League final. However, Atalanta will be confident of finishing the job at home, especially with a sold-out Gewiss Stadium behind them.
