last week\u2019s 2-0 loss in Germany<\/a>, and Gianluca Scamacca tapped in at the far post to give them a fifth-minute lead as they got off to a dream start. Dortmund had their share of chances but it was their keeper, Gregor Kobel, who was busiest in the first half, twice denying Nicola Zalewski. He was beaten, however, on the stroke of half-time when Davide Zappacosta\u2019s shot was deflected into the net off Bensebaini to make it 2-0.<\/p>\nThe Atalanta keeper Marco Carnesecchi made the save of the match when he tipped Serhou Guirassy\u2019s low drive wide in the 49th minute, to protect their two-goal advantage. Dortmund went even closer in the 53rd with Maximilian Beier\u2019s shot bouncing off the post. Instead it was the hosts who scored again thanks to Mario Pasalic\u2019s header at the far post to go 3-0 up and take control of the tie.<\/p>\n
Dortmund, however, hit back with the substitute Karim Adeyemi adding instant pace to their game and curling his 75th-minute shot into the top corner as the visitors pushed to take the contest into extra time.<\/p>\n
But Bensebaini then tried to clear a cross in the box with a backheel, catching the head of Krstovic who went down bleeding. The hosts were awarded a penalty following a lengthy VAR review and Samardzic beat Kobel to send his team through with the last kick of the game.<\/p>\n
The Atalanta defender Sead Kolasinac said he went through \u201ca whirlwind of emotions\u201d in the final seconds. \u201cWhen the referee decided for a penalty, I didn\u2019t know who would take it. All our penalty takers had been substituted, but luckily Lazar converted brilliantly,\u201d Kolasinac told DAZN.<\/p>\n
Emre Can, the Dortmund captain, said his error-prone side deserved their elimination. \u201cIf you make so many individual errors, it\u2019s going to be difficult to progress… we were very unlucky, but to be honest we didn\u2019t deserve to advance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere Paris Saint-Germain, the holders, edged out 10-man Monaco to reach the last 16, a 2-2 draw giving Luis Enrique\u2019s side a 5-4 aggregate victory.<\/p>\n
PSG won 3-2 away in the first leg last week, but Maghnes Akliouche scored to give Monaco the lead on the night and level the tie on aggregate.<\/p>\n
Mamadou Coulibaly\u2019s second-half sending-off for the visitors then proved the catalyst for Marquinhos and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to score for PSG and seemingly finish off the tie, although Jordan Teze made it 2-2 late on.<\/p>\n
