The Spaniard has found the net for the third game in a row as Leipzig, unbeaten at the top of the table after four Bundesliga games, have victories on the European stage
Left-back by trade, Angelino has now scored four goals in all competitions this season, helping Leipzig close the gap left by the transfer of star striker Timo Werner to Chelsea
The 23-year-old, who joined the club on loan from City last January, has blossomed into a more attacking role in recent weeks, and he terrorized full-back Basaksehir in a first half lively hour Tuesday
« Angelino was exceptional for us in the second half of last season. He’s now playing more forward and he’s dangerous in front of goal, » Leipzig sporting director Markus Kroesche told DAZN
Semi-finalists last season, Leipzig started their third Champions League campaign with a clinical performance, striking early before sitting down to defend the lead in the second half
Angelino and Dayot Upamecano forced early saves from Basaksehir goalkeeper Mert Gunok, and it was the lender who landed the first shot in 16 minutes
Rushing into the box like a center forward, he picked up a bullet crossed by Emil Forsberg before turning a six pence around Martin Skrtel to fire a low shot past Gunok
He doubled the lead just four minutes later, scoring a first finish just inside the box after Yussuf Poulsen launched a thunderous attack from midfield
The goalscorer fell deeper in the second half as Leipzig absorbed the pressure and Basaksehir searched in vain for a way back into the game
The win puts Leipzig at the top of Group H after the first round of matches, with the Bundesliga leaders set to face Manchester United at Old Trafford in their second group game next Wednesday
