Sampdoria ease past 10-man Hellas Verona

By Alex Meyers, Reporter | 08 December 2014

Sampdoria claim a 3-1 victory against Hellas Verona, who played for over an hour with 10 men following the dismissal of Rafael Marquez.

Sampdoria have moved up to fourth in Serie A by claiming a 3-1 win over 10-man Hellas Verona this evening.

Manolo Gabbiadini had the first attempt for the visitors with a powerful strike from range that forced Rafael to turn the ball behind.

They came close again soon after when Matias Silvestre headed Gabbiadini's corner just over the bar.

Verona then found themselves down to 10 men and facing a penalty following Rafael Marquez's foul inside the box on Eder.

Eder stepped up to convert the resulting spot kick to further compound the home side's misery.

However, Verona responded well and equalised in the 37th minute through Luca Toni, who reacted quickly to turn the ball in from close range after Panagiotis Tachtsidis's shot had been spilled.
