BERGAMO - Serie A champions Inter held Atalanta 1-1 at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia in their penultimate match of the season.

Brazilian right-winger Ferreira Pinto struck an early opener for the Bergamo Nerazzurri.

Luis Figo levelled from the penalty spot three minutes after the interval to see Inter end the league season unbeaten on the road, with 15 victories and 4 draws.

Stefano Colantuono's side produced plenty of chances with lots of counter-attacking football in the first half.

But the first clear scoring opportunity fell to Inter on 8 minutes when Mariano Gonzalez went through on goal, only for Rivalta to get back in time and make a sliding tackle on the Argentine.

Atalanta took a 10th-minute lead Ferreira Pinto, who collected Loria's perfectly timed through ball, turned Burdisso and poked past Julio Cesar.

Buoyed by their goal, Atalanta pushed to double their lead, and almost did on 19 minutes when Ferreira Pinto fired just wide after receiving from Tissone.

Inter went close to a reply soon after through Stankovic. The Serbian midfielder powered down the middle and unleashed a low right-foot shot from 20 yards that Calderoni did well to get a hand to.

The home side were relentless in their search for a second goal, and Brazilian full-back Pereira Da Silva Adriano forced Julio Cesar into two crucial saves before a Zampagna lob that finished just wide.

Calderoni kept out a Solari effort on the stroke of half time as Atalanta took their lead into the break.

Inter were level three minutes after the interval when Figo scored from the penalty spot following a foul by Carrozzieri on Mariano Gonzalez.

It was the Portuguese midfielder's first goal for Inter since his extra-time winner in the Italian Super Cup comeback against Roma last August.

Atalanta almost grabbed an immediate reply when Zampagna hit a low shot just wide after evading a challenge on the edge of the area.

The Bergamo outfit went even closer in the 56th minute when Vieri, on for Zampagna, sent a looping header on target. With Julio Cesar beaten, Cordoba got back in time to head off the line and deny his former team-mate.

Cambiasso could have sealed victory for Inter in injury time but his angled left-foot effort finished a yard wide of the far post.
