Hellas Verona saying goodbye to the Serie A in grand style.  Yep.  Hellas Verona are already relegated to the Serie B for next season.  It’s a good day for the fans at the Marc’Antonio Bentegodi Stadium because they defeated Italy’s Champions Juventus.   An emotional game for Hellas Verona forward Luca Toni retiring from professional football.

Precisely, it is Hellas Verona to open the score in the 43rd minute.  Referee Maresca giving a penalty to Hellas Verona conceded by Juventus defender Alex Sandro after a foul on Verona midfielder Eros Pisano.   It is forward Luca Toni to convert the penalty defeating Juventus goalkeeper Neto with a right footed shot in the bottom left corner.  What a way to salute the fans!   Let me tell you, my friends.  I am just crying of joy seeing Luca Toni celebrating this goal since I have been his fan for years!
