Atalanta-Roma 2-1

1-0 Doni 5

2-0 Stromberg 52

2-1 Totti (Pen) 84

Red cards: Talamonti 83 (Atalanta)

Attendance: 25,500

Atalanta: Calderoni; Rustico, Zanchi, Talamonti, D. Zenoni; Stromberg (Dalla Bona m. 60), Bonacina, Cigarini; Doni, Pinardi (Natali m.53), Cantarutti (Evair m. 70)

Roma: Pelizzoli; Panucci, Mexes, Ferrari, Chivu (Candela m.30); Dacourt, De Martino, Perrotta; Mancini (Delvecchio m. 46), Totti, Cassano (Mido m. 60)

Player Analysis: Roma were on the back foot from the start as Doni's excellent free kick gave Atalanta the lead.

* Chivu's def**/*** injury at the half-hour hurt the Roma defence.

* Candela defs replaced the injured Chivu def**/*** and severely weakened the back four. His marking was poor and he struggled against Pinardi.

* Mancini att**/*** was especially disappointing and was substituted at half-time.

* Pelizzoli gk** made a big error and was responsible for Atalanta's second goal.

* Mido att* came on for the disappointing Cassano att**/*** and was a massive improvement. His work rate was very good and he helped create a number of chances.

* Totti, att**** was one of the bright spots along with De Martino

mid* and Mexes def***. He did well to win and convert the late penalty against Talamonti.

Press/Supporter Views

Roma fans were angry after the match, especially with Mancini who has come under a lot of fire recently. Cassano was also criticized, but the press was extremely critical of Pelizzoli, with some calling for Zotti to replace him.

Match Summary: Despite the criticism, I think Roma should have had a penalty for Zanchi's handball. And that could have changed the flow of the game. A 2-2 draw would have been a fairer result, not because Roma were particularly good, but because Atalanta did little to deserve the three points. Getting to fourth place is now going to be much more difficult
