A wake up call for Hellas Verona to fight for salvation being in the last position of the Serie A. It’s a terrible defeat for Verona as the dream for salvation seeming almost impossible.
It’s Sampdoria to open the score in the 6th minute. Midfielder Roberto Soriano defeating Hellas Verona goalkeeper Gollini with a left footed shot in the bottom right corner.
A crazy goal in the 11th minute. The action started by Sampdoria forward Fabio Quagliarella attempting the first right footed shot shot though saved. Yet, the ball still in the area and there it comes….. Forward Antonio Cassano to profit and score with a right footed shot in the top left corner.
Total chaos for Hellas Verona!!!! Sampdoria scoring the third goal in the 30th minute…. A spectacular assist by defender Lorenzo De Silvestri and midfielder Lazaros Christodoulopoulos just smacking the left footed shot goal in the bottom left corner. !!!! Closeup celebration in the tribune by Sampdoria president.
