Lazio scraped an injury-time draw against Torino thanks to Italy striker Ciro Immobile scoring a 91st-minute penalty.
A dull stalemate was unlocked by Torino substitute Marko Pjaca, who scored the game's opening goal deep into the second half.
Pjaca came on in the 74th minute of a turgid affair, and promptly got on the end of of a Wilfried Singo cross to put Torino 1-0 ahead five minutes later. The Croatian was denied a second by a smart Pepe Reina save
Lazio continued to struggle to put pressure on Torino until they won a penalty in stoppage-time, which Immobile duly dispatched.
Vedat Muriqi was tripped in the box late on to allow Immobile to convert, minutes after the Italy striker hit the bar with a header.
Four first-half bookings was the most notable aspect of a suffocating opening 45 minutes, in which both sides managed just one shot on target each.
Things did not improve after the break. By the 70-minute mark Lazio had not managed a single attempt on goal in the second half, and had only mustered two in the entire match until then.
Lazio are seventh in the standings with eight points, with Torino one point behind in 10th and Sampdoria 13th on five points.
