Lazio found a much-needed spark in their trip to Bergamo, reigniting hopes of a Champions League spot with a narrow but valuable 1-0 win over a struggling Atalanta. After a dull first half marked only by Nuno Tavares’s injury, the second period offered more intensity. The decisive blow came from Isaksen, who had just entered the pitch and latched onto a clever pass from Dele-Bashiru to beat Carnesecchi. A miscommunication on the Atalanta bench added to the confusion: Gasperini called for a substitution involving Ederson, but instead Lookman was mistakenly withdrawn — a moment symbolic of the hosts’ disarray.
Meanwhile, at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma and Juventus shared the points in a match full of grit but short on brilliance. Juve looked sharp early on, taking the lead with a well-placed strike from Locatelli, following a fluid move initiated by McKennie and Kalulu. However, the Bianconeri couldn’t maintain their grip, and Ranieri’s Roma grew into the game, equalizing with a close-range finish by Shomurodov after Di Gregorio had parried Ndicka’s header.
The match saw chances on both sides — including a bar rattled by Nico Gonzalez and a post struck by El Shaarawy — but ultimately ended in a draw that did little to shift the dynamics of either team. The real winner of the weekend was Lazio, whose resilience and tactical discipline gave them a fresh lifeline in the European race. For Roma, Juventus, and Atalanta, questions remain — and answers are needed fast.
