Roma and Milan draw 1-1 after late goals

MILAN (AP) – Roma and AC Milan netted in stoppage time to draw 1-1 in Serie A, a result on Saturday that did neither any favours in a tight race for the Champions League qualifying spots.

Tammy Abraham thought he secured a crucial win for Roma when he scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time with the first shot on target of the match.

But Alexis Saelemaekers levelled three minutes later to leave Abraham shaking his head almost in disbelief.

Fourth-placed Milan led Roma on goals scored. Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker but the sides are level after two late Roma goals helped it snatch a 2-2 draw at Milan in January.

They are also level on goal difference.

But Roma has eight goals less than Milan overall.

Inter Milan can move level on points with a win over second-placed Lazio on Sunday.

But Lazio needs the victory to prevent Napoli from clinching the title when it plays Salernitana later that day, in a match that was rescheduled from Saturday for security reasons.

Atalanta closed the gap to the top four to two points by snatching a 2-1 win at Torino.
