AUNEOLA LOOKMAN was in the target as Atalanta defeated as Rome 2-1 in the series A contest on Monday night and has guaranteed the football of the Champions League next season.
The objective was the 15 of lookman in series A and also in its twenty -fourth in all competitions this season.
The victory saw Atalanta maintain third place and has taken its account to 71 points, which means that Juventus (64 points), Lazio (64 points) and Rome (63 points) cannot reach them again with two remaining games.
The goals of Lookman and Ibrahim Sulemana finished the undefeated series of 19 games of Rome.
This was a great fight between the third and the fourth fourth, since the Giallorossi had the opportunity to jump both to Lazio and Juventus after its 1-1 draw.
Atalanta had suspended Isak Hen, Juan Cuadrado, Sead Kolasinac, Marco Palestra, Giorgio Scalvini and Gianluca Scamacca wounded, while Lookman and Odilon Ksounou began despite not being 100 percent.
Charles de Ketelaere simply could not reach the end of a cross on the cross on the back post, while Bryan Cristante put the Marco Carneecchi gloves from a distance.
Lookman then opened the scoring in nine minutes when he gathered his back to the goal of De Ketelaere, turning Devyn Rensch and shooting from 13 yards.
Ederson almost did it 2-0 after the nut of a defender, but shot on the bar, with the strike of Manu Kone deviated after Kossounou was caught in the nap and Ketelaere produced from a couple of six yards in a dismissal of Ederson.
Atalanta wasted a great double opportunity, when First Mile Svilar went down to stop the end of De Ketelaere of 10 yards, then Mateo Retegui shot the rebound.
These possibilities were expensive, because a corner was clear with difficulty and Soule put the cross on the head of Bryan Cristante, who on his back to the goal lit it in the upper corner of eight yards to put it 1-1.
Rome should have changed it in the part -time blow when Eldor Shomurodov unleashed a defender, but the first touch of Manu Kone in the assistance was horrible and the opportunity went to beg.

However, the penalty was revoked after a VAR review in the field, since Kone ran into Pasalic.
The Sulemana and the Middle Volla control from the edge of the volume of the medium from the edge of the area were diverted by a desperate rensch sliding block and in the resulting corner, Berat Djimsiti nodded.
Atalanta finally did the pressure and got her second goal when Lookman ran down the left, she shot to Lazar Samardzic to leave her, allowing Sulemana to pierce a sea of legs from the edge of the area.
Rome pushed strongly with a soul -free kick that sailed just from the distant upper corner and Alexis Saelemaekers withdrew from the partial line to force a desperate authorization.
In the detainees, Svilar went up to a corner and Carneecchi was given the head of the head, Piscilli’s kick on Berat Djimsiti’s face.
