Atalanta opened their UEFA Conference League campaign with a comfortable 3-1 victory against Pafos at the New Balance Arena. Eljif Elmas gave the hosts the lead after just 50 seconds before Giacomo Raspadori doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 18th minute. Gianluca Scamacca added a third goal shortly before halftime, while Pafos managed an 88th-minute consolation finish from Biel.
The victory came at a cost for Atalanta amid an existing injury crisis, as Raspadori was forced off with a muscular issue shortly after scoring his penalty. Pafos also suffered a setback during the match, with defender David Luiz limping off before the break due to a flexor injury.
