Boulaye Dia then appeared to have won it for Lazio in the 87th minute, finishing clinically to make it 21.Atalanta refused to fold, and in stoppage time Sulemana drove at the defence and picked out Yunus Musah, who calmly slotted home for 22, ensuring the tie remains finely balanced ahead of the return leg in Bergamo.The draw extends Atalantas strong recent form, and they will look to build on this result when they host Udinese in Serie A in their next match on Saturday, March 7.
