88'
L. Muriel has scored a goal for Atalanta!
W. Kanga enters the game and replaces C. Martins.
87'
L. Muriel enters the game and replaces J. Mæhle.
Gasperini throws a striker in Muriel on for a wing-back in Maehle as he looks to salvage something from the game in the time that remains.
GOAL!!!! WHAT AN INTRODUCTION FROM MURIEL!!! Just one minute after coming on, the striker steps up to a free-kick at a sharp angle to the left of goal, but his strike takes a slight deflection and sneaks inside the bottom corner of the near post! Atalanta are level again and it's 3-3!
84'
S. Hefti has scored a goal for Young Boys! Assist by M. Aebischer.
GOAL!!!! WHAT A GOAL FROM HEFTI!!!! The right-back drifts into a central area and strokes a sublime strike into the top-left corner past a helpless Musso! He could well have won the game for his side! It's 3-2 to Young Boys now!
Aebischer claims the assist, but all the credit has to go to Hefti for his sensational shot into the top corner from range.
80'
V. Sierro has scored a goal for Young Boys! Assist by M. Ngamaleu.
Moumi Ngamaleu made a terrific run to the byline from deep and showed awareness to pick Sierro out with a neat cutback rather than smashing a cross wildly into the middle.
GOAL!!! SIERRO FIRES YOUNG BOYS LEVEL!!! Moumi Ngamaleu's run towards the right byline was picked out with a quick throw-in and the forward cut the ball back into the middle for Sierro, who curled a left-footed strike inside the far corner! It's 2-2!
78'
M. Pessina enters the game and replaces R. Freuler.
Gasperini makes another change in midfield, with Freuler replaced by Pessina in the centre of the park.

A couple of fouls have disrupted the flow of the game in the last minute or so. Young Boys have been quiet in the last five minutes and need to up their tempo as they chase the game.
71'
T. Koopmeiners enters the game and replaces M. Pašalić.
B. Djimsiti enters the game and replaces M. Demiral.
Gasperini also makes a conservative change, bringing a deeper midfielder in Koopmeiners on for an attacking player in Pasalic.
Gasperini makes a double-substitution of his own now. The first change sees Demiral replaced in defence by Djimsiti.
Minute
Description
67'
F. Mambimbi enters the game and replaces M. Elia.
V. Sierro enters the game and replaces F. Rieder.
Wagner makes a double-change as he tries to get his team back into the game. Rieder is off for Sierro in midfield.
Elia is also replaced in attack, with Mambimbi taking his place as Young Boys chase the game.
66'
S. Hefti gets yellow.
Hefti takes a loose touch as he tries to craft some space for a cross on the right and, in his eagerness to win the ball back after Malinovskiy had nipped in, catches the top of the Atalanta midfielder's foot with his studs and is shown a yellow card.
63'
M. Demiral gets yellow.
Demiral hauls Siebatcheu back to prevent him from sprinting after a long ball forward on the counter and receives a yellow card for his trouble.
60'
The hosts have succeeded in lowering the tempo of the game with a short spell of safe, slow possession. Atalanta have lost some of their momentum now.
58'
Young Boys are trying to take the sting out of the game at the moment. They're looking to keep the ball rather than pushing for an equaliser.
56'
Elia sprints away down the right and cuts the ball across the face of goal dangerously. Musso scrambles off his line and just about gets there first to smother.
54'
Atalanta have started this second half in aggressive, assertive fashion and Young Boys haven't been able to cope so far.
51'
J. Palomino has scored a goal for Atalanta! Assist by M. Pašalić.
Pasalic had his back to goal and was crowded out as the ball came to him - he made the right choice laying it off for Palomino instead of trying to take it under control himself.
GOAL!!! WHAT A HIT FROM PALOMINO!!! A long ball into the box is nodded down and then cushioned into the path of Palomino on the edge of the box. The defender thumps the ball at goal on the half-volley and rifles his shot into the back of the net! It's 2-1 to Atalanta!
46'
G. Pezzella enters the game and replaces D. Zappacosta.
Zappacosta is forced off with that injury and is replaced at half-time by Pezzella, who goes to left wing-back, with Maehle switching to the right.
45' +3
HALF-TIME: YOUNG BOYS 1-1 ATALANTA
45' +1
The game has restarted but Atalanta are still a man down, with Zappacosta struggling on the sidelines. The defender may not be able to return to the field.
44'
Moumi Ngamaleu goes into the book for a poor challenge on Zappacosta. The Atalanta wing-back is still down and receiving treatment.
43'
M. Ngamaleu gets yellow.
39'
J. Siebatcheu has scored a goal for Young Boys! Assist by M. Aebischer.
Aebischer's corner towards the near post cleared the first man and dipped enough for Siebatcheu to meet it underneath the bar, directing his header up and eventually in.
GOAL!!! YOUNG BOYS ARE LEVEL!!! Aebischer sends his corner to the near post and Siebatcheu arrives to head it off the underside of the crossbar and in! It's 1-1!
35'
Toloi plays De Roon into trouble on the right, but Elia is overzealous in trying to win the ball and catches the Atalanta midfielder in the midriff with his arm, conceding a free-kick.
30'
Young Boys win their third corner of the game, but once again it comes to nothing. The hosts haven't looked particularly threatening from set-pieces.
26'
Young Boys win a corner, but it's completely wasted as they give away a foul in the box as the ball comes in.
24'
Since that missed opportunity for Palomino, the game has gone through a scrappy phase. Neither side has been able to create any clear-cut chances.
22'
U. Garcia gets yellow.
Garcia accidentally catches Malinovskiy in the face with an arm as he looks to protect the ball and, to his frustration, is shown a yellow card as a result.
14'
The game has been disrupted by a series of fouls from Atalanta since the goal as they look to prevent Young Boys from gaining any momentum in their pursuit of an equaliser.
10'
D. Zapata has scored a goal for Atalanta! Assist by R. Freuler.
GOAL!!! ZAPATA OPENS THE SCORING FOR ATALANTA!!! The ball is worked down the left and fizzed into the feet of Zapata, who has to take it in with his back to goal. The striker swivels superbly, however, and fires the ball unerringly into the bottom-right corner! It's 1-0 to Atalanta!
Atalanta's most incisive move of the game saw Freuler played in down the left and the midfielder cut back to Zapata in the box, who produced an excellent finish on the turn.
7'
Both sides are still wrestling for control of proceedings. Possession is split very evenly and there's been little goalmouth action.
5'
It's been cagey in the opening stages of this one. Neither side has really taken the game by the scruff of the neck so far.
3'
Zappacosta draws a foul on the right, but Malinovskiy's free-kick is disappointing and goes behind for a corner. The attacking midfielder's set-piece delivery is better this time, but it comes off the shin of Palomino and deflects harmlessly wide.

We're underway in Switzerland!

Young Boys substitutes: Wilfried Kanga, Alexandre Jankewitz, Vincent Sierro, Felix Mambimbi, Quentin Maceiras, Miralem Sulejmani, Marvin Spielmann, Jordan Lefort, Leandro Zbinden, Yannick Toure, Fabian Lustenberger, Nico Maier.
Young Boys (4-3-3): Guillaume Faivre; Silvan Hefti, Nicolas Burgy, Sandro Lauper, Ulisses Garcia; Michel Aebischer, Christopher Martins Pereira, Fabian Rieder; Meschak Elia, Jordan Siebatcheu, Nicolas Moumi Ngamaleu.

Wagner looked pleased with how his side ended the half - they were on top as the whistle went - and will hope his men can bring that energy with them after the break. Gasperini, on the other hand, will expect his side to control the game a little better than they have done so far. He may also be forced to replace Zappacosta if he is unable to overcome his injury.
We're back underway for the second half!
