Lazio’s Ivan Provedel levelled the scoreline for the Serie A side in the 94th minute of the UEFA Champions League clash with Atlético Madrid

Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel has joined an exclusive club of goalkeepers who have scored in the UEFA Champions League, Soccernet.ng reports.

A momentous occasion in Tuesday night’s match against Atlético Madrid saw Provedel made his UCL debut a memorable one, heading in a stoppage-time equalizer that secured a 1-1 draw for Lazio.

The Italian shot-stopper’s remarkable goal occurred in the dying moments of the game when he ventured up field for a last-ditch corner.

He capitalized on a cross from Luis Alberto, displaying impressive skill to direct the ball into the net with one of the final touches of the match.
