Serie A: Roma does not restart, Lecce surprises Atalanta

Mourinho’s Giallorossi do not go beyond a draw against Sassuolo

New missteps for Roma and Atalanta in the 6:30 p.m. matches of the 14th day of Serie A. Mourinho’s Giallorossi, fresh from the heavy defeat in the derby, failed to redeem themselves and went no further than a 1-1 draw at home to Sassuolo; Abraham’s great strike in the 80th minute was answered five minutes later by Pinamonti. In the standings Roma fifth on 26 points, -12 from Napoli in the lead, Sassuolo 12th.

In the other match Atalanta was defeated in Lecce 2-1, running into its third defeat in the last four games. All the goals in the first half: the Salentini took a double lead thanks to Baschirotto and Di Francesco, in the 28th and 30th minutes, Zapata halved the distance in the 39th minute but in the second half the hosts resisted the comeback of La Dea, which is stuck in third place in the standings with 27 points. Leapfrog Lecce, 16th at 12.
