Coach Ranieri's unbeaten streak is broken

AS Roma are at a disadvantage in the race for a ticket to next season's Champions League.

In the late match of round 36 of Serie A, Atalanta hosted AS Roma at home. Before this match, Atalanta faced many difficulties in terms of personnel. Meanwhile, Roma is having an impressive 19-match unbeaten streak under coach Claudio Ranieri.

However, Atalanta still showed that they are a fearsome team in Serie A this season. In the 9th minute, Ademola Lookman had an accurate move to open the score for the home team. In the 32nd minute, Roma equalized with Bryan Cristante's header after a corner kick.

However, the equalizer was only the best Roma could do in the match. The decisive goal came in the 78th minute, when Ibrahim Sulemana shot through a crowd of legs in the penalty area to make it 2-1. The credit for this move belonged to Lookman, when he broke through on the left wing.

Despite Roma's late attack and many dangerous chances, they were unable to equalize for the second time. Roma suffered their first defeat in Serie A since mid-December last year.

The "miracle" of veteran coach Ranieri could not work at Atalanta, as the home team played better and knew how to solve the match.

This victory is of great significance to Atalanta, as it officially helps them secure a ticket to the Champions League next season. Atalanta currently has 71 points, 7 points more than the 5th-placed team Lazio with only 2 more rounds left.

For Roma, their chances of qualifying for next season's Champions League are now even more slim. The Italian capital club is one point behind fourth-placed Juventus and will not be able to decide their own fate.
