**Stadio Olimpico, Rome**
**Extra Time — First Half**
**9:52 PM**
The referee raises his whistle and the sound cuts through sixty thousand voices while both sets of players push themselves upright from the grass where they've been sitting, and the movement is slow in the way that only complete exhaustion produces — not theatrical, just honest.
Legs don't fully straighten before they have to move again.
Atalanta kick off with the ball dropping immediately to Ederson who plays it wide right where Hateboer receives and immediately knocks it simple and safe to Tolói in the back three, because the first thirty seconds of extra time belong to composure rather than urgency while both sets of lungs reset to the new reality of thirty more minutes.
**91' - 94' |**
