Fiorentina draws with Atalanta in dreary end to season for both
FLORENCE, Italy (AP) --- Fiorentina drew with Atalanta 1-1 and the clubs
rounded out disappointing Serie A campaigns on Friday.
Roberto Piccoli put Fiorentina ahead just before halftime but an own goal from
Pietro Comuzzo eight minutes from time gave Atalanta a share of the points and
ensured Fiorentina's worst league placing since 2019.
The Florence club started the season horrendously and had to wait until the
16th round to record its first league win.
A recovery in the new year boosted its league position and it was in 14th place
although it could fall further if Genoa or Cagliari, the two teams immediately
below it, win this weekend.
It was also a disappointing season from Atalanta, whose top four finishes the
last two seasons guaranteed it Champions League football.
Atalanta will finish seventh, which means a place in the Conference League, but
it has won only one of its last seven Serie A matches.
