Dugout delves into the vaults: Throwback to Zapata’s conquering of Roma
Dugout’s choice for today’s Throwback feature only harks back one season to 2017/18 but it was a memorable occasion at that.
Sampdoria travelled to the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on a cold January evening earlier this year to face the Giallorossi just a few days after the reverse fixture in Genoa, which was rescheduled from September and finished 1-1 thanks to Fabio Quagliarella’s strike.
The Blucerchiati were superb to a man against Roma, Emiliano Viviano in particular who saved an Alessandro Florenzi penalty. Roma’s Alisson at the other end was looking similarly unbeatable until Duvan Zapata found the net to claim the three points.
Cue pipe-in-mouth celebration.
