In the last minute of injury time, Atalanta were on the attack with a chance to win the tie on aggregate.

Nikola Krstović had climbed off the bench and found himself ready to head the ball into the back of a goalkeeperless Dortmund net.

However, the Montenegrin only found himself on the receiving end of a boot from Ramy Bensebaini.

Bensebaini, 30, had attempted to clear the ball with a trailing leg.

He lifted his boot high and connected with the ball, but also saw his boot connect with the face of Krstović.
