After the tense final minutes of Atalanta vs. Lazio, when goalkeeper Pepe Reina was hit by a coin, the Nerazzurri risk being sanctioned with a fine and a match behind closed doors.

The Spanish goalkeeper was hit by a coin coming from the Orobici corner, but other objects were thrown too – including a roll of adhesive tape.

Referee Guida accused the goalkeeper of time wasting, as the former Napoli and Milan shot stopper was on the ground for a short while.

Reina got up and played on, but Il Corriere dello Sport claims Atalanta risks a disqualification of the sector of fans, if not the whole stadium, and a fine.

Pedro Rodriguez scored the opener of the match after picking up the rebound from Immobile’s finish.

Duvan Zapata equalised for the home side before Ciro Immobile added Lazio’s second to become the club’s all-time top scorer.

Atalanta equalised in stoppage time when Marten de Roon scored the 2-2 goal at the Gewiss Stadium.
