(Tano Pecoraro/LaPresse via AP) GENOA, Italy (AP) — Mateo Retegui made history on Saturday. And against the team he used to play for. Retegui set an Atalanta scoring record in a Serie A season when his 25th goal snatched a 3-2 win at Genoa. Advertisement The previous record was 24 by Filippo Inzaghi in 1996-97. Retegui is also waiting to be crowned the league's top goal-scorer this season, as he has seven more than his nearest challenger. He is in his first season at Atalanta after joining from Genoa in August. It was the only match in the penultimate round with only pride to play for. The other nine matches kick off at the same time on Sunday, when Napoli could win Serie A. Atalanta had already secured third spot in Serie A, and Genoa was comfortably mid-table. Genoa took the lead when Andrea Pinamonti headed an Aaron Martin cross to end a three-month goal drought. Advertisement Ibrahim Sulemana leveled for Atalanta immediately after the break with a fine strike from distance. Pinamonti doubled his tally in the 58th, squeezing a finish into the bottom near corner after some woeful Atalanta defending. Daniel Maldini hauled Atalanta level again five minutes later after a Marten De Roon through ball was allowed by a smart Retegui dummy. Atalanta turned the match around completely with a minute remaining when Charles De Ketelaere raced down the right before rolling across for Retegui to sweep home. The Italy forward didn't celebrate against his former team. ___ AP soccer:

Atalanta secure CL spot with Roma win
BERGAMO, Italy: A second-half goal by substitute Ibrahim Sulemana earned Atalanta a 2-1 home win over AS Roma in Serie A on Monday, securing Champions League qualification for Gian Piero Gasperini's side. Sulemana sealed the three points for Atalanta in the 76th minute, scoring with a low strike from just outside the area, after Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante cancelled out an early opener by Ademola Lookman. Atalanta, who fell behind in the title race, sit third in the standings on 71 points and have a seven-point cushion over fourth-placed Juventus and Lazio in fifth with two games left to play. Roma, who failed to capitalise on Lazio and Juventus dropping points in a 1-1 stalemate on Saturday, are sixth with 63 points. Atalanta snapped the visitors' impressive unbeaten league run of 19 games, with Claudio Ranieri's side previously having been defeated mid-December at Como. Things started off brightly for Atalanta as Lookman stroked in past Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar to put them in front after nine minutes. Charles De Ketelaere dribbled past the Roma defence to set the Nigerian up with a precise low cross inside the box and the striker controlled the ball to score inside the right post. It was Atalanta's 100th goal this season across all competitions. De Ketelaere had two good chances to double the advantage but Roma midfielder Cristante levelled for the visitors instead, netting with a flicked header after the half-hour mark. Things slowed down significantly after a lively first half until Roma were awarded a penalty after an hour of play, following a clash between Atalanta's Mario Pasalic and Manu Kone. The referee, however, overturned his decision after consulting VAR. Sulemana eventually restored the lead for Atalanta in the 76th minute, scoring with a low strike from just outside the area — a goal that stood after a VAR check for a potential offside. Roma host AC Milan next weekend before visiting mid-table Torino in their bid to qualify for Europe's elite club competition for the first time since the 2018-19 campaign. Atalanta travel to Genoa on Sunday before welcoming lowly Parma in their final fixture. — Reuters

Atalanta Beat Roma To Secure Champions League Spot
Atalanta qualified for the Champions League on Monday by beating Roma 2-1 and mathematically securing a place in Serie A's top four. Ibrahim Sulemana's strike in the 76th minute moved Atalanta, in third, seven points ahead of fifth-placed Lazio with two matches remaining in the season. Gian Piero Gasperini's team had taken an early lead through Ademola Lookman only for Atalanta old boy Bryan Cristante to head Roma level in the 32nd minute. But Sulemana ended Roma's long unbeaten run at 19 matches and left Claudio Ranieri's side one point behind Lazio and Juventus, who sit fourth. Roma can still snatch a spot in Europe's top club competition but host in-form AC Milan next weekend while Juve welcome Udinese. Reaching the Champions League would be a huge triumph for Ranieri as Roma looked like relegation candidates when he came out of retirement in November to take charge of his boyhood club for the third time. Gasperini has been tipped to take over Ranieri after nine hugely successful years in the Atalanta dugout, winning the Europa League last season. Listen to the latest songs, only on
