Atalanta conquers the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and moves up to sixth place in the standings, overtaking Como while awaiting the rescheduled match on Wednesday against Milan, thanks to their eighth consecutive positive result (six wins and two draws).
Raffaele Palladino's team defeats Lazio 2-0 with a goal in each half: Ederson opens the scoring in the first half with a penalty, following Cataldi's handball, and Nicola Zalewski seals the victory in the second half with a curling shot that leaves Provedel no chance.
In between, there were some good saves by Carnesecchi, who first stops Taylor (sending the ball onto the post) and then Noslin, and the long VAR check episode for Zappacosta's handball in Atalanta's area, with the penalty not awarded due to Tavares' offside.
The negative note of the evening for Atalanta is Giacomo Raspadori's muscle injury towards the end of the match: the former Sassuolo and Napoli player leaves the field, leaving Atalanta with 10 men, as Palladino had already used all his substitutions.
Atalanta climbs to 42 points, surpassing Como (who lost 2-1 at home against Fiorentina), while Lazio's positive streak of four games between the league and Coppa Italia ends, leaving them at 33 points, in eighth place in the standings.
MINUTE 90 - Another woodwork hit by Lazio, this time by the newly entered Ratkov.
The former Salzburg forward heads the ball but narrowly misses the goal.
MINUTE 85 - Bad news for Palladino's Atalanta, as Giacomo Raspadori is injured.
Physical problem for the former Atletico player, who leaves the field: Atalanta has already made all their substitutions and finishes with ten men.
MINUTE 62 - Atalanta doubles their lead with Nicola Zalewski.


The former Roma player cuts inside and unleashes a curling shot that nestles into the bottom left corner of Ivan Provedel's goal, leaving him helpless.
MINUTE 54 - Incredible chance for Lazio. From the left corner kick, Noslin deflects the ball towards the far post.

Marco Carnesecchi makes a miraculous save, deflecting the ball out of the goal.

Marusic is at the far post, but from close range, he incredibly shoots wide.
MINUTE 51 - Long VAR check after a handball by Zappacosta in Atalanta's area, but the penalty is not awarded to Lazio.
Cataldi's shot ends up with Tavares, but the Atalanta player clearly hits the ball with his arm.

Lazio's offensive action is analyzed by VAR, which finds the Portuguese player in an offside position.
“Atalanta's number 77 touches the ball with his hand, but previously the Lazio player is offside” explains referee Sacchi.

The decision is supported by Marelli on DAZN: “On the shot from outside the area, Tavares is offside, Kolasinac's action is not a play but a deflection.”

MINUTE 39 - Zappacosta crosses after a one-two with Krstovic, and in a sliding tackle, Cataldi tries to intercept the ball but touches it with his right arm. Referee Sacchi awards the penalty, a decision shared by Marelli on DAZN: "Cataldi's arm is very high, touching the ball between the armpit and elbow".

Ederson steps up to the spot and sends Provedel the wrong way. It's the first penalty taken by Ederson during the 90 minutes of a match.

MINUTE 28 - Maldini receives in the area, shields the ball and lays it off for Taylor: the midfielder shoots first time but Carnesecchi gets a touch on the ball, sending it onto the post. An instinctive save worth 0.61 xGOT.
MINUTE 25 - Honest Ahanor's dismissal by Palladino: booked at 12' and some individual errors in marking lead the coach to make a change. Kolasinac comes on in his place.
MINUTE 17 - A deep pass for Bernasconi who beats Provedel to the ball, the Atalanta winger crosses low for Krstovic who shoots first time. Provstgaard saves the result on the line.


In the first quarter of an hour, there were several individual errors, with 2/3 of the Atalanta defense booked: Scalvini and Ahanor.
LAZIO (4-3-3): Provedel; Marusic, Gila, Provstgaard, Tavares; Dele-Bashiru, Cataldi, Taylor; Isaksen, Maldini, Noslin.
ATALANTA (3-4-2-1): Carnesecchi; Scalvini, Djmsiti, Ahanor; Zappacosta, Ederson, De Roon, Bernasconi; Samardzic, Zalewski; Krstovic.
