Lazio maintains its record without defeat in 17 consecutive games

Rome-Sana

Lazio maintained their unbeaten record in 17 consecutive Serie A matches, but failed to clinch second place with a disappointing goalless draw with Verona.

Lazio, who won 12 between the last 13 games to become a third-place title contender with 50 points from 22 games, is four points behind leaders Juventus and one point from second-placed Inter Milan and Lazio also did not lose in 17 consecutive games in the competition under the leadership of the Swedish coach Sven-Goran Erickson in 1999.
