A duel for salvation. Sampdoria and Palermo having only 1 point difference and the need to win the match was urgent. Simply put, a cruel way to end this game with a draw for Palermo conceding the equalizer goal in the agonizing 95th minute. Palermo had it so close to grab those 3 points and it crashed at the end.
Palermo opening the score in the 60th minute. It is Ilija Nestoroski to silence the Ferraris Stadium defeating goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner. The assist is by Haitam Aleesami.
