By Can Erozden

The UEFA Champions League announced the Team of the Week on Thursday with Lazio's goal-scoring goalkeeper Ivan Provedel being selected to the all-star team of matchday one.

Provedel scored on a header in the 95th minute in a Tuesday Group E match against Atletico Madrid as his goal ensured Lazio would avoid a loss at home.

The 29-year-old Italian goalie ran into the six-yard box, where there were several Atletico players, to head a cross from Luis Alberto to beat the Spanish team's goalkeeper Jan Oblak.

It was one of the great Champions League memories.

The match ended 1-1 at Rome's Stadio Olimpico.

Provedel joined Hans-Jorg Butt, Sinan Bolat and Vincent Enyeama, who were goal-scoring goalies in previous seasons of the Champions League.
