31 ott 2023

The Frenchman unleashes a counterattack in the 67th minute, then closes Cabral in the 86th minute. For the Granata, they are now in the round of 16 Juventus by Massimiliano Allegri.
THE MATCH
The first half of the game was almost entirely dominated by the Granata, who closed the Blucerchiati in their half of the pitch and played a lot with the midfielders and the wingers. Just before the half hour mark, Inzaghi’s team broke the deadlock, with Ikwuemesi breaking the deadlock with a left-footed shot deflected by Facundo Gonzalez. The Campania team came close to doubling the lead on a couple of other occasions, then finding it at the end of the first half: Ikwuemesi again protagonist, with the deep assist for Tchaouna’s powerful left foot, which made it 2-0. In the second half the Ligurians tried to show themselves a little more forward, but paid with the home team’s first real counter-attack: in the 67th minute Tchaouna’s lightning-fast restart, who took center stage and finished with the left-footed shot just past the post for the 3rd. -0. In the final there was also room for poker, signed by Jovane Cabral with a left foot in the 86th minute following a nice finishing play by Simy. Salernitana wins 4-0 and flies to the round of 16, where Allegri’s Juventus awaits them. Sampdoria eliminated.
REPORT CARDS
Emphasis 7 – Takes the Ligurian defenders for a walk on several occasions. It’s true, he is lucky in scoring with Gonzalez’s deflection, but he gives a chocolate to Tchaouna for the 2-0 of the Campania team.
Tchaouna 7.5 – An MVP performance from the Frenchman, who beats Ravaglia twice with as many left-footed stones: the first powerful one on the goalkeeper’s post, the second precise after a masterful counterattack.
Gonzalez 5 – Bad night for one of Sampdoria’s most positive defenders so far (considering the injuries). The difference in category was felt more for him than for others.
Depaoli 5.5 – He doesn’t bring the necessary experience for a match against a Serie A team. He has some appearances in the top flight, perhaps we could have expected something more.
