Jones and Roberto Firmino were also denied woodwork for the owners.

Atalanta 1-1 Midtjylland
Christian Romero saved Atalanta with his head in the 79th minute, when Midtjylland's hopes for his first Champions League victory did not materialize. The game began with an unexpected twist when spare captain Alexander Scholz fired ahead of the Danes from the battlefield. The intense Midtjylland pushed high and their compact defensive squad kept Atalanta's attacking threat at bay for most of the match. Eventually, however, Romero looked inside to make sure the trophies were split up.
Key statistics : Atalanta have won only one of six home games in the UEFA Champions League group stage.
