That is five times in seven years that Gasperini has taken Atalanta to the Champions League. A remarkable achievement!
Gasperini called everyone into the centre circle to celebrate together. They are back in the Champions League!
General Chaos!
Corner really was for Svilar, Carnesecchi fingertipped it off his head, Pisilli overhead kick onto Djimsiti’s face and ricocheted out! But no time for the corner!
Serie A | Atalanta 2-1 Roma: Dea secure Champions League and end Ranieri record
Carnesecchi flaps at a cross, Roma corner and Svilar has gone up!
Scare for Atalanta, Carnesecchi fumbles a cross, but he was visibly fouled by Pisilli….
Corner flicked on, Saelemaekers pulls back from the by-line and Atalanta clear with difficulty!
We go into five minutes of added time. Can Roma avoid their first defeat in 20 Serie A rounds?
Djimsiti is booked and will be suspended against Genoa after his sliding tackle on El Shaarawy.
Baldanzi squirms past one, but cannot get past Sulemana too.
Brescianini and Maldini on for Atalanta, Lookman and Retegui off.
Dovbyk, Shomurodov and Manu Kone off for Roma, Baldanzi, Saelemaekers and El Shaarawy on.
Bellanova after that error hauled off to make way for Ruggeri.
Soule’ free kick is audacious, goes straight for goal and it’s not far wide of the far top corner at all!
Atalanta almost shot themselves in the foot there with Bellanova’s error on the corner, sparking a Roma counter-attack, but fortunately for them, the Kone pass is over-hit for Dovbyk!
Still, what a moment for the ex-Cagliari midfielder, his first goal in the Atalanta jersey. And two substitutes combined, too.
Bizarre scenes after that goal…
An Atalanta fan ran onto the pitch, put the ball on the penalty spot and scored past Svilar.
He was accompanied back to the stands…
Lookman gets down the left, pulls it across to the penalty spot, Samardzic has his back to goal, so lays it off for Sulemana to drill between Samardzic’s legs from the edge of the area!
Pisilli on, Rensch off. So Soule’ goes wide right.
Lookman dribbles into the box, cuts inside Celik and bends it just wide of the far post!
Atalanta are swarming now, Retegui can’t quite get enough on the cross from the right, then Lookman’s effort is cleared too.
Manu Kone comes off worse from a clash of heads with Samardzic.
Djimsiti nods the Lookman cross over the bar after the corner!
