Provedel Reaches 50 Clean Sheets With Lazio Despite Frustrating Draw At The Olimpico

The draw against Cremonese at the Stadio Olimpico left Lazio with a strong sense of regret. The Biancoceleste missed the chance to claim a second consecutive league victory for the first time this season and were unable to turn territorial dominance into three points. Yet amid the disappointment, one figure once again stood out for his consistency and reliability.

Ivan Provedel recorded his ninth clean sheet of the season, extending a defensive run that has become one of Maurizio Sarri’s most dependable foundations. The goalkeeper’s evening was quiet, not because of lack of focus, but because Lazio conceded almost nothing. For Provedel, the match also carried special significance, as it marked his fiftieth clean sheet wearing the Biancoceleste shirt.

The milestone reflects his impact since arriving in Rome. Of those fifty clean sheets, forty four have come in Serie A, three in the Champions League, two in the Europa League, and one in the Coppa Italia. Numbers that confirm his role as one of the most consistent goalkeepers in the league over the past seasons.

Speaking to DAZN after the match, Provedel did not hide his frustration with the final result. “There are no excuses. Guendouzi is right. They came here and defended very well, but we could have done much more,” he said, echoing the disappointment felt inside the dressing room.

On his clean sheet and the defensive performance, Provedel underlined the solidity of the back line. “Defensively, we didn’t concede anything. I didn’t have to make a single save. The result leaves a bitter taste in our mouths, but we must also look at the positive aspects,” he added.

Lazio’s defensive structure continues to deliver guarantees, even when the attacking phase struggles to find solutions. While the draw against Cremonese slowed the team’s momentum, Provedel’s landmark achievement stands as a reminder of the stability Sarri has built from the back, a foundation Lazio will need as the season grows more demanding.
