Palermo suffering and the cry for salvation loud and clear. Chievo grabbing an important away victory reaching 22 points with 6 wins. Palermo remaining in the last position of the Serie A winning only 1 game this season. The chaos is total for Palermo also eliminated in the Coppa Italia defeated by Serie B team Spezia. Chievo defeating Novara in the Coppa Italia Fourth Round. Highlight of the match is the celebration of Chievo Verona forward Sergio Pellissier scoring his 100th goal in Serie A with Chievo.
Bam! Chievo Verona silencing the Renzo Barbera Stadium in the 14th minute. It is Chievo to open the score with forward Valter Birsa defeating Palermo goalkeeper Josip Posavec with a left-footed shot in the bottom right corner. It’s the 4th goal of the season by Virsa.
Chievo punishing Palermo in the 49th minute with another goal. It is forward Sergio Pellissier to defeat goalkeeper Posavec with a left-footed shot while anticipating to save, yet, nothing to do. The final outcome is the goal by Pellissier.
