Neither Roma nor Atalanta were able to advance to the Olympic game and signed a draw (1-1) that was not enough for their European aspirations, which was called into question by the irregularity of both teams.
A tie seemed like a natural outcome for two teams that hadn’t achieved two consecutive victories. Atalanta, which led in the first half, regained sixth place but was tied with Lazio, who pressed from behind more quickly.
Outside the continental zone is Roma, eighth, although only one point behind its rival. Jose Mourinho’s team squandered a good chance to take the continental spot from their rival.
Roma, who have won just one of five games, found themselves with the score against them before the twentieth minute when a run down the right by Russian Aleksey Miranchuk ended with a cross that Dutchman Teun took advantage of on the edge of the small. area. Koopmeiners to defeat Rui Patricio.
Mourinho’s team woke up to the blow. Romelu Lukaku’s every attempt collided with goalkeeper Marco Carnesecchi, who kept his team at bay for several minutes. Atalanta responded, more comfortably, with the second through the boot of Charles De Ketelaere and Rui Patricio was frustrated.
The main action came after half an hour, in the 36th minute, when Roma had the clearest chance with the boot of Dutchman Rick Karsdorp, who, between the sticks, was saved by Albanian Berat Djimsiti when he entered the goal. But Karsdorp, in his attempt, was hit by Matteo Ruggeri. The VAR saw it, confirmed it and allowed it. Paulo Dybala converted a penalty six minutes before the break.
The game lost momentum in the second half, with few chances. The many changes and delays left the clash without rhythm. Rome seems to be in more danger than Atalanta. Carnesecchi emerged as his team’s savior. He avoided a goal from Dean Huijsen and another later from Dybala.
