In the opening match of the Champions League group stage, Lazio hosted Spanish Atlético at home. Both teams are favorites in their group and the match between them has sparked greater interest.
The Madrid team managed to score a goal first and maintained this result until the end of the match. But in the fifth minute of added time, Roman goalkeeper Ivan Provedel ran in to take the corner. After the cross, he played like a true striker and headed the ball into the net, becoming the second goalkeeper in the history of the tournament to score.
It is curious that Provedel, who has Italian citizenship, has Russian roots. His mother is from Russia and his father is Italian. Last season he was recognized as the best goalkeeper in the Italian championship.
