Atalanta, Lecce Draw 1-1 Amidst Top-Four Battle

Atalanta's hopes of winning the Serie A title have faded after they were held to a 1-1 draw at home by Lecce, leaving them three points ahead of fourth-placed Juventus with four games remaining. The match, which had been rescheduled following the death of Lecce's physiotherapist, saw the visitors take the lead through a Jesper Karlsson penalty after a handball by Isak Hien. Atalanta managed to equalize in the second half with a penalty converted by Mateo Retegui after Juan Cuadrado was fouled. Despite late chances, including a header from Retegui that hit the post, Atalanta could not secure the win. The result intensifies the battle for top-four positions in Serie A, as Atalanta now face pressure from Juventus and Bologna in the final matches of the season.
