28th Minute
Atalanta pushed hard down the left flank, the ball moving quickly through the sequence as Koopmeiners found Maehle wide, and the Danish full-back drove forward with intent while Ruggeri doubled up on the overlap, both of them flooding into the final third with pace.
The cross came whipped and dangerous, Maehle's right foot catching it clean as four black-and-blue shirts converged on the six-yard box, Højlund attacking the near post, Lookman peeling to the far stick, Malinovskyi hovering at the penalty spot, all of them anticipating the delivery.
The ball sailed over everyone.
Too high, too deep, skimming past Højlund's outstretched head and evading Lookman's leap at the back post before bouncing loose in the space between Lecce's right-back and center-back, and for one second the danger seemed cleared.
Then Strefezza was already gone.
