Elmas Opens the Scoring for Atalanta in 45 Seconds: His First Goal for the Club Brings a 3–1 Win Over Paphos
North Macedonia international Eljif Elmas scored after just 45 seconds on October 15 in Atalanta’s win over Cyprus’s Paphos.
North Macedonia international Eljif Elmas scored his first goal for Atalanta on October 15, just 45 seconds into the match against Cyprus’s Paphos in Bergamo. Giacomo Raspadori, who ran in on the right, set him up, and Elmas struck a powerful low shot from inside the penalty area. Atalanta won 3–1.
The match is in the Conference League; some media call it the Europa League, so there is a discrepancy in the reports. In the previous match, in Serie A against Venezia, Elmas assisted for the team’s win.
The articles we checked do not state the matchday in the European competition or Atalanta’s place in the table, so we cannot say how much this result moves the team toward the next phase.
