With 52 points, Roma is five points behind Bologna in fourth place, which is the last berth sure to qualify for the Champions League. With 50 points, Atalanta, who have played one fewer game, are in sixth place. Lecce is in 13th place with 29. The first half saw plenty of opportunities for the hosts, but Mile Svilar, the Roma goalkeeper, made a strong stop for them. Both teams continued to produce opportunities after halftime, with Lecce’s Patrick Dorgu blazing wide from close range just after the hour mark, while Roma’s Houssem Aouar had a shot kept out by an outstanding reaction stop from Lecce keeper Wladimiro Falcone.
In stoppage time, Remi Oudin had a chance to win the game for the home team, but his long-range attempt missed the mark by a hair.
