On the 2021-2022 Serie A TIM matchday 23, the match against Lazio ends 0-0 at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome. Many players were out for the Nerazzurri, who wore the hot-coral shirt this evening. However, they managed to scrape an important point thanks to a performance of great pride and dedication.

Giorgio Scalvini started for the first time in Serie A, as he was lined up in midfield, and there were only a few emotions in the first half, with the two goalkeepers never tested. There were more chances in the second half, which was opened up with a Pessina shot straight at the goalkeeper. The post denied Zaccagni in the 64th minute, and right after that, Miranchuk curled just wide of the far post. Miranchuk tested again Strakosha with a left-foot on 68 minutes, then Marusic skimmed the top corner with a long-range shot. In the final minutes, two more products of the Nerazzurri Youth Academy made their senior and Serie A debut: De Nipoti and Sidibe.
