Coach Ranieri's unbeaten streak comes to an end.

In the early hours of May 13th, Atalanta defeated AS Roma 2-1 to secure a place in next season's Champions League, simultaneously ending their opponent's unbeaten run.

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

In the late match of Serie A's 36th round, Atalanta hosted AS Roma at home. Ahead of this encounter, Atalanta faced numerous squad challenges. Meanwhile, Roma were enjoying an impressive 19-match unbeaten streak under coach Claudio Ranieri.

However, Atalanta still showed they are a formidable team in Serie A this season. In the 9th minute, Ademola Lookman scored with a precise finish to open the scoring for the home team. In the 32nd minute, Roma equalized with a header from Bryan Cristante following a corner kick.

However, the equalizer was the best Roma could do in this match. The winning goal came in the 78th minute, when Ibrahim Sulemana shot through a wall of defenders in the penalty area to make it 2-1. Lookman played a major role in this goal, with his breakthrough on the left wing.

Despite Roma pushing hard in attack towards the end of the match and creating numerous dangerous opportunities, they were unable to equalize a second time. Roma suffered their first defeat in Serie A since mid-December last year.

The "magic" of veteran coach Ranieri couldn't work at Atalanta, as the home team played better and knew how to win the match.

This victory is very significant for Atalanta, as it officially secures their place in next season's Champions League. Atalanta now have 71 points, 7 points ahead of fifth-placed Lazio with only two rounds remaining in the season.

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