Calcio Catania remain bottom of Serie A after recording a goalless draw at home against Hellas Verona FC.

Verona travelled to Sicily sitting sixth in the table but were indebted to goalkeeper Rafael De Andrade Bittencourt Pinheiro for keeping their hosts at bay. The 31-year-old Brazilian kept out efforts from Sebastian Leto, Mariano Izco, Nicolás Spolli and others as Verona held firm, although Catania were at least able to end a run of three successive losses in the league.
