BERGAMO, Italy :Atalanta came from behind to beat Belgium’s Club Brugge 2-1 at home in the Champions League on Tuesday with Mario Pasalic netting the winner after earning the penalty that led to the equaliser.

The Croatia international, in his eighth season at the Serie A club, headed home in the 87th minute from a corner to win the game for the hosts, who were trailing with 16 minutes remaining.

Christos Tzolis’ first-half strike gave the visitors the lead, but a penalty tucked away by Lazar Samardzic in the 74th minute brought Atalanta back into the game.

The win gave the Italian outfit their first points of the campaign after they lost 4-0 to holders Paris St Germain in their opening league-stage fixture in mid-September, while Brugge already had three points after beating Monaco 4-1
