Shakhtar scores late to beat Atalanta 2-1 in Champs League

MILAN (AP) — Shakhtar Donetsk scored with practically the last kick of the match to beat Atalanta 2-1 Tuesday as the Italian side’s first home match in the Champions League ended in defeat.

Manor Solomon netted in the fifth minute of stoppage time after Junior Moraes canceled out Duvan Zapata’s opener for Atalanta in the first half.

Atalanta had an early penalty saved while both sides also hit the woodwork.

Manchester City hosts Dinamo Zagreb later in the other Group C match.

Atalanta was playing its first home match in the competition. But it took place at Milan’s San Siro, around 60 kilometers from Bergamo, as Atalanta’s stadium is currently being renovated in order to meet UEFA standards.

La Dea was recovering from a chastening debut in Europe’s premier club competition, having lost 4-0 at Dinamo. Shakhtar opened its campaign with a 3-0 defeat to City.
