Napoli SC 0-0 Atalanta BC Napoli and Atalanta fought out a miserable goalless draw which provided both sets of fans very littl

With both sides sitting comfortably in mid-table in Serie A, clear from relegation and unlikely to be pushing for a place in Europe, the game started poorly and petered out into a dull encounter in which just one shot was on target in the final 45 minutes.
Only substitute Cristiano Doni provided some excitement when he was introduced in the 66th minute, but even he failed to find a breakthrough.
The stalemate means Napoli boss Roberto Donadoni is still searching for his first win since taking charge.
The former Italy boss has guided the team to three straight draws since replacing Edoardo Reja last month but is still searching for that elusive victory.
The hosts were 12 games without a win before today, but Atalanta were in equally poor form.
They had lost four of their last six matches and have won just twice on the road this term, losing nine times.
Just eight minutes were on the clock when Sergio Floccari's long-range shot went wide.
Neither team seemed intent on taking the initiative, and it was the visitors again who fashioned the second opportunity of the half after 23 minutes.
Gianpaolo Bellini's cross from the left found Gianvito Plasmati, whose powerful header just cleared the bar.
With eight minutes of the first half remaining, Napoli managed the first shot on goal. Ezequiel Lavezzi's header, from a Marcelo Zalayeta cross, was easily saved by Andrea Consigli.
There was no improvement in the second half, with just one shot on target during the entire half. Seven minutes after the break Tiberio Guarente made a good run but pulled his shot well wide.
On the hour mark, Lavezzi looked to set himself up for a shot inside the area but Bellini's brilliant tackle came to Atalanta's rescue.
Substitute Doni was introduced after 66 minutes and added some flair to the proceedings, although he also found himself booked.
He proved to be the dangerman for the visitors and with 15 minutes remaining he superbly skipped past Fabiano Santacroce on the edge of the area.
But he disappointingly pulled his shot just wide.
And it was Doni who almost snatched victory with just two minutes remaining when he managed to get his head to the ball inside the box, but his attempt missed the target.
Either team claiming the points would have been an injustice, as a share of the spoils was deserved following such a lacklustre display from both sides..espnstar.com
