Fiorentina's bid for a Champions League berth suffered a setback when they were held 2-2 at Atalanta after the home side grabbed a last-gasp equaliser through Zlatan Muslimovic.

Fiorentina had taken the lead in the 29th minute when forward Giampaolo Pazzini controlled a Riccardo Montolivo pass and spun to find the far corner.

However, Atalanta's Bosnian striker Muslimovic levelled the scores with the first of his two goals just a minute later.

Fiorentina went ahead again when winger Semioli, who missed Italy's midweek friendly against Portugal with a foot problem, headed in Zdravko Kuzmanovic's cross from the right on the hour.

But Muslimovic gave Atalanta a share of the spoils when he finished off a neat counter-attack to complete his double in added time.

The Florence club stay fourth with 38 points from 22 games, 15 behind leaders Inter Milan who visit Catania on Sunday.

Fifth-placed AC Milan, rivals for a top-four finish and Champions League place, can move within two points of Fiore with a game in hand by beating Siena at San Siro on Sunday.
