Atalanta come close to a fifth, but the finish isn't there from Pasalic after some good link up work with Zapata.

An hour in and still Valencia look flat. There's no urgency, no proper creativity, and it goes from bad to worse and Maxi Gomez misses a sitter to almost sum their fortunes.
57
OH WHAT A GOAL! Atalanta's positivity is rewarded after a wonderful curling effort from Freuler! It's 3-0, and the lead seems almost unassailable!

Valencia really aren't looking up for this one; nervy, heavy touches prove that they're really missing the Mestalla.

Atalanta are already on the front foot here, they've started the second half as they finished the first, and they mean business.
