Sampdoria Primavera beaten 1-0 by Genoa in local derby clash

Sampdoria Primavera were beaten 1-0 by Genoa on Saturday afternoon despite a battling performance which saw the Blucerchiati play for 75 minutes with ten men.

Doria made a promising start, but their plans were thrown into disarray after Antony Angileri was sent off for a professional foul after just 15 minutes. Angileri had given the ball away as Samp were attempting to bring the ball out from the back, but upended Denilho Cleonise on the edge of the box in his efforts to atone for his mistake. As last man, the referee was forced to show him the red card.

To their credit, Samp continued to give as good as they got as the match progressed, but Genoa’s breakthrough eventually came midway through the second half when Cleonise slotted home at the second time of asking after his initial shot had been kept out by the Doria keeper.

The numbers were levelled up on 89 minutes after Michele Besaggio was dismissed for a second bookable offence. Nik Prelec had a wonderful chance to salvage a point for Samp seconds later, but it wasn’t to be.

Samp’s wait for a league win this season goes on.
