Leipzig 1 – 1 Atalanta 
58′ Davide Zappacosta (og) 17′ Luis Muriel
Atalanta ended the UEFA Europa League Quarterfinals with a 1-1 draw at the RB Arena on Thursday 7 April 2022. The unfortunate own goal by Davide Zappacosta in the 58th minute, immediately after the penalty saved by Juan Musso against the former AC Milan André Silva, thwarts Luis Muriel’s masterpiece goal in the 17th minute. The Second Leg will be played on Thursday 14 April at the Gewiss Stadium.
Atalanta opened the score in the 17th minute. Colombian forward Luis Muriel defeated Leipzig goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi with a right-footed shot to the top right corner. The assist is by Davide Zappacosta.
