Kairat lead, Krstovic answers

Atalanta and Kairat Almaty drew 1-1 on 5 November 2026 at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo, in the third matchday of the Conference League League Phase. Kairat took the lead in the 53rd minute through Marc Gual. Atalanta's equalizer came in the 82nd minute from Krstovic, who had entered the game shortly before. Adnkronos reports that the draw lifts the Bergamo side to 4 points in the League Phase table.

Atalanta's struggles

ANSA writes that Atalanta under Sarri have not yet taken off. The result avoided a second consecutive home defeat, though the outlet said a better performance had been expected against the Kazakh side. Many players were absent for Atalanta, which the report cites as part of a particularly difficult period. Atalanta controlled the second half territorially but showed little energy and did not turn that dominance into three points.

Late chances

Ederson came close to a 2-1 winner near the end of the match. Adnkronos says Atalanta pushed for victory in the closing minutes without managing to complete the comeback.
