Atalanta draws 1-1 at Roma to remain 3rd in Serie A

<p>ROME &mdash; Ten-man Atalanta wasted a chance to move into second place in Serie A with a 1-1 draw at Europa League semifinalist Roma on Thursday.</p>
<p>Still, Atalanta extended its unbeaten streak to six matches.</p>
<p>Former Atalanta midfielder Bryan Cristante equalized with a long-range shot midway through the second half — shortly after Atalanta fullback Robin Gosens picked up his second yellow card.</p>
<p>Ruslan Malinovskyi had given Atalanta an early lead.</p>
<p>Third-place Atalanta remained one point behind second-place AC Milan and moved level on points with fourth-place Juventus, which it beat last weekend.</p>
<p>Roma also finished with 10 men when Roger Ibañez picked up his second yellow in the final seconds of stoppage time.</p>
<p>Atalanta has qualified for the Champions League the past two seasons, reaching the quarterfinals and the Round of 16. The success of the small Bergamo-based club has been cited as one of the reasons why the failed Super League proposal wouldn’t have been fair.</p>
<p>“Atalanta represent the antithesis to the Super League,” Atalanta general manager Umberto Marino said. “Football is about dreams, about earning your results.”</p>
<p>Roma, which faces Manchester United in the Europa League semifinals, remained seventh.</p>
<p>Napoli was playing Lazio later.</p>
