Serie A | Verona 0-0 Pisa – Honours even in bottom-of-the-table clash

Verona and Pisa shared the points in a goalless draw at the Bentegodi, with Lorenzo Montipò producing a string of crucial saves to deny the visitors in a dramatic finale.

The match started at a measured tempo, with Verona looking to use Gift Orban’s physical presence up front.

The striker came closest in the first half, rattling the post with a powerful effort from a set-piece in the 33rd minute. Sandi Lovric also had a sight of goal, but his finish drifted wide.

Pisa grew into the game and began to threaten more consistently after the break. Filip Stojilkovic and Stefano Moreo both wasted promising openings, while Verona struggled to turn possession into clear-cut chances.

The visitors piled on the pressure in the final 15 minutes.

Montipò was called into action repeatedly, making outstanding reflex saves to deny Moreo, Antonio Caracciolo and Henrik Meister in quick succession. Idrissa Touré also saw an effort blocked as Pisa pushed hard for a late winner.

Despite four minutes of stoppage time, neither side found the breakthrough. Verona extend their unbeaten run but will feel they rode their luck, while Pisa can take encouragement from a dominant second-half display that deserved more than a point.
