The start of the game between Atalanta and PSG hinted that the French side was going in for a somewhat easy game, but as time went by, the Italian club got closer and closer to scoring the first goal.
This happened courtesy of former Chelsea player Mario Pasalic, who drilled a left-footed shot into the top right-hand corner of Keylor Navas' net.
The Croatian footballer had not been able to score in his first nine UCL games, but he has now been able to fix his sights.

The Italian side added Keylor Navas to a list of eight goalkeepers they have faced this season and who have failed to keep a clean sheet against them. Nevertheless, the only exception came in their game against Manchester City.
