Atlético struck from the first big chance, resisted the pressure for the rest of the match, but were buried by the opponent’s goalkeeper in the setup. Ivan Provedel scored in the 95th minute to give the Spaniards a 1-1 draw at Lazio Rome.
Lazio started a bit more active, Ciro Immobile found the ball well behind the defence, but then Axel Witsel intervened. In the 13th minute, Daichi Kamada fired in from distance, but his shot was easily caught by Jan Oblak.
The Blues were also unsuccessful from a corner, with Alessio Romagnoli’s header going just over. Luis Alberto, a long-time Eagles mainstay, was also unsuccessful, heading just wide from outside the box. And two minutes later, a penalty for unproductivity.
Pablo Barrios’ shot was knocked into his own net by the Lazio defence. The Athletics struck from the first dangerous shot. For the rest of the half, the Romans occupied their opponents in vain and the score was 1:0 to the Spaniards.
The second half opened with a late goal by Witsel, but his shot from outside the box was too weak to celebrate another success. On the other side, Matias Vecino tried his luck from a similar position, but his shot did not go between the three posts.
In the 56th minute, cannonballer Ciro Immobile threw away a great chance, only to fool Oblak after a mistake in the opponent’s crossing. Atleti almost struck a second time with the help of a run, Alvaro Morata’s shot hitting the bar this time.
Rodrigo Riquelme could have added an insurance goal in the 82nd minute, but the Blue and White defence knocked the attempt away for a corner. However, Diego Simeone’s charges managed to close the gap in the second half and the Spaniards did not allow Lazio to put on any real pressure.
But everything changed in the fifth minute of stoppage time. After a corner kick, another centre flew into the penalty area and Ivan Provedel sent his header into the net. In the second group match, Feyenoord won 2-0 against Celtic.
