The official Serie A YouTube channel uploaded the highlights of the goalless draw between Atalanta and Lazio that took place on Sunday at the New Balance Arena in Bergamo.

The first half was a cagey affair, with the Biancocelesti sitting back and absorbing the pressure. Nevertheless, Maurizio Sarri’s men managed to threaten on a couple of occasions, but Marco Carnesecchi denied Toma Basic’s freekick, while Matteo Guendouzi squandered a Mattia Zaccagni-led counterattack.

After the break, Atalanta launched an onslaught on Ivan Provedel’s goal, but the latter was up to the task, pulling off a string of saves to preserve a clean sheet. The Lazio custodian’s best highlight was a fantastic stop on Ademola Lookman’s low drive.

The Nigerian striker had also wasted a free header from close range, while his teammates, Davide Zappacosta and Lorenzo Bernasconi, hit the post. Moreover, Honest Ahanor failed to apply the finish from point-blank range. Therefore, the Aquile managed to escape with a point, mostly thanks to the heroics of Provedel and Mario Gila, who was also exceptional at the back.
