Baku, May 6, AZERTAC

Roma attempted to bounce back from European disappointment but could only draw 1-1 against Juventus in Serie A on Sunday in a result that did little to help its hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, according to AP.

Bremer canceled out Romelu Lukaku’s first goal from open play against Juventus. Both teams also hit the woodwork as Juve’s winless run continued.

Third-place Juventus, which is winless in its last five matches, is six points ahead of fifth-place Roma with three rounds remaining. The top five in Serie A qualify for the Champions League after Italy earned an extra spot in next season’s competition.

Roma is just three points above sixth-place Atalanta, which has also played two matches fewer.

Roma was looking to recover from a 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the first leg of the Europa League semifinals on Thursday, and started positively with Rasmus Kristensen’s header coming off the crossbar in the 11th minute.

The capital side took the lead just four minutes later in somewhat chaotic circumstances. Paulo Dybala pulled the ball back from the byline and Bryan Cristante’s shot was blocked by Juventus defender Federico Gatti on the line but went straight to Lukaku for the tap in.

It was his first goal against Juventus from open play after netting from the spot against the Bianconeri for Inter.

Juve leveled in the 31st minute when Federico Chiesa whipped in a cross from the right and Bremer headed it in at the back post.

Chiesa came close to firing his team in front right at the start of the second half but his effort went off the right post and across the face of goal.
