Serie A leaders Inter Milan saw their eight-match winning run come to an end as they were held to a goalless draw at Atalanta.
The visitors were looking to move four points clear at the top of the table but could not find a goal in a game packed with chances.
Atalanta goalkeeper Juan Musso produced a stunning save in the second half to deny Edin Dzeko.
The result means Inter are two points clear of AC Milan.
“It’s a good draw given how it went. It could have gone either way. It was the right result, it’s never easy against Atalanta,” Inter captain Handanovic told DAZN.
However, Inter’s city rivals can go top on Monday if they beat Spezia.
Atalanta remain fourth, one point behind Napoli and one ahead of Juventus.
“It is a great result for us, because Inter usually dominate,” said Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini. “There were some moments that were in our favour and some not. Both teams wanted to win and that made it a great game.”
The hosts missed several players through injury and COVID-19, and faced an Inter team in buoyant form after their imperious league run and midweek Italian Super Cup victory over Juventus.
Earlier, Sergio Oliveira scored on his Roma debut to give Jose Mourinho’s side a 1-0 win over struggling Cagliari.
