He didn't make a clean tackle—Leão was too quick for that—but his presence forced the Portuguese international to adjust his body shape fractionally, and the resulting shot was slightly rushed rather than composed.
Tolói read it perfectly, sliding in front of the ball with perfect timing, and the shot deflected off his thigh harmlessly wide for a corner.
The away section erupted in appreciation for both defenders—Tolói's sliding block and Demien's recovery run—while Leão slapped the grass in frustration because he knew that chance should have been converted.
Commentator: "Brilliant defending from Tolói! He reads that perfectly and blocks Leão's shot. That could have been two-nil."
Co-Commentator: "Leão has been unstoppable tonight. Every time he gets the ball, Atalanta's defense is in trouble. Hateboer's had a difficult evening."
