Primavera, Lazio 1-0 Atalanta
Nerazzurri on 30 points in the standings
On the road setback for the Nerazzurri, as hosting side Lazio ran out 1-0 winners in Formello on MD25.
An unphill start for Atalanta as the hosts took the lead on 14 minutes with D'Agostino. Apart from the Nerazzuri looking for the equaliser through Manzoni, with Bonanomi failing to find the finishing pounce on the rebound, the first half went on unstirred, with Lazio going at the break 1-0 up.
In the second half, Atalanta went all out in pursuit of the equaliser: starting off from Arrigoni going close with a headed attempt, to Damiano and Fiogbe trying to crack Lazio's defences on multiple occasions with onslaughts of speed and technique before Simonetto came closest with a ranged finish. While Atalanta's forcing raged throughout the second half, the scoreboard remained untouched with the hosts grabbing a 1-0 win.
