After an eventful back and forth first 35 minutes of football between Palermo and Sampdoria where the hosts had a little more of the play, Palermo have finally broken through on a great finish by Fabrizio Miccoli, assisted by Javier Pastore.
Palermo Vs. Sampdoria: Fabrizio Miccoli And Javier Pastore Put Hosts Ahead
The goal came on the counter attack, with Miccoli and Pastore playing a one-two combination on the edge of the box. Sampdoria appeared to be defending well, but eventually Miccoli lost the central defenders as Pastore slipped a through ball into the box. It wasn’t right to his feet and Miccoli had to adjust, struggling to get a lot of power on the shot, but the placement of his shot was perfect and Palermo went ahead 1-0. It appeared that he may have been offsides in real time, but on the replay, Miccoli was clearly kept onside by some lazy defending from Sampdoria.
Elsewhere in Serie A, Cesena have a 2-0 lead on the road against Brescia on the road and Bologna have a 1-0 lead on Fiorentina at home.
