The Champions League race in Serie A is almost decided four rounds before the end. Internazionale has done themselves and Atalanta Bergamo a good service with a 2-2 against AS Roma: Stefan de Vrij grabbed a double lead before half-time.
The first half ended in 1-1 and the Orange-international gave the final push twice. After fifteen minutes of play, he beat his opponents in the air and headed the Nerazzurri on a 0-1 lead. In the injury time of the first half, a bet by Leonardo Spinazzola went against the ropes via the right foot of De Vrij: 1-1. The VAR took extensive time to look at an alleged violation of Lautaro Martínez, but eventually gave the green light.

After an hour of play De Vrij had to bow his head again: Edin Dzeko worked the ball past his opponent from Ouderkerk aan den IJssel, Henrikh Mkhitaryan shot the 2-1. That score remained on the plates for a long time, but Internazionale received a penalty in the final phase. Spinazzola wanted to shoot the ball away, but kicked through on Victor Moses: Romelu Lukaku made it 2-2 from the spot.
After the draw between number five and number two, Inter and Atalanta can no longer be overtaken by AS Roma. Number four SS Lazio is eleven points ahead of the cityman and can definitively qualify for Juventus for the Champions League on Monday.
