Derby all square: Samp escapes with Eder, Matuzalem scores 1-1

We
have dreamed it differently. And until half hour of the second half,
it seamed that everything was going in that direction. The perfect
revenge, a dish best served cold. Eder Citadin Martins hits up under the Nord,
Sampdoria hangs in and concedes nothing. Suffering, struggling, staying in
the trenches. But at the end the derby ends with a draw – quite
homely, to tell the truth -, a result that was missing since 2007
and that anyway gives us a good advantage on the relegation zone.

Pleasure.
Stocked by the fan’s show, from the beginning Samp creates the
match, lined up in the typical formation. Instead the others play
with ill intent to such an extent that Nenad Krsticic, at the minute 12th,
is carried out on a gurney due to a killer entrance by Matuzalem. The
Brazilian remains in the field, but not the Serb. Football mysteries
and injustices. Gianni Munari, shortly after the first quarter hour,
replaces Nenad who is limping. But the retaliation is near. It is
behind the goal post on the right of Frey, the one that Eder’s
right, at the minute 28th,
turns into a winning bank and an absolute pleasure. The level free
kick played by our Brazilian makes the Nord
tremble and the Sud
boom. It is the 0-1 that ends the first half.

Cold
shower. In the second half, the rare dangerous situations for Sergio Romero
that Genoa’s players create are exclusively corner kicks: the
biggest shiver that runs down our spines is at the minute 26th
when Kucka takes aim and our defense roughly repels. At the minute
33rd
the defense loses Andrea Costa, expelled after two yellow cards for a foul
on Floro Flores. The cold shower doesn’t come alone: Matuzalem
converts a cross kick into a shot and especially into a mocking and
unstoppable trajectory that ends in the farthest intersection. Romero
is defeated, 1-1. This is how it ends under the Lanterna.
