Inter held by Siena as title race goes to wire

By Mark Meadows

MILAN (Reuters) - Inter Milan again wasted the chance to retain their Serie A title when they were held 2-2 at home by Siena on Sunday with Marco Materazzi having a penalty saved.

Second-placed AS Roma beat Atalanta 2-1 to cut the gap to one point with one round of matches remaining next weekend in an exhilarating finish to the season.

Inter, who lost to AC Milan last Sunday to spurn their first opportunity of sealing the scudetto, visit relegation-threatened Parma and Roma go to Catania, who could also go down.

"At 2-2 there was no longer any logic on the field, I was angry about this. We were piling forward too much," Inter coach Roberto Mancini told Sky, relieved his side had not lost.

"We have the quality to win at Parma, Roma have to go to Catania and it won't be simple."

Bottom side Livorno were relegated after a 1-0 defeat at home to Torino while Empoli must beat Livorno next Sunday to have any chance of staying up after losing 2-0 at Reggina, who are now safe.

Third bottom Parma and fourth bottom Catania will have everything to fight for next Sunday with two points separating the teams.

Fiorentina came from behind to beat Parma 3-1 to move into fourth spot and the final Champions League qualifying place after AC Milan, now two points behind with a game left, lost 3-1 at Napoli.
