Atalanta conceded a goal in the final seconds of the game to draw against Apollon Limassol, which delay qualification until at least the next round of games. Gasperini is seeing this experience as a glass half full: "It is a point that will allow us to eventually get the qualification These events will help us to learn something. This game was not easy, but the player play well in a hostile climate."
Gasperini, who spoke to Sky Sport, continued: "We defended well, but then we lacked a bit of fortitude. I am happy about the performance. Cornelius was not available and we were missing pieces upfront. Those who did play had a good game. We could have finished off the game if we scored again. Tonight's game could have finished as a win and it could have sealed qualification. I believe that qualification is already sealed."
