The Genoa derby ends in tears

The derby between Sampdoria and Genoa electrifies the city of Genoa like no other sporting event. On Saturday the situation was even more explosive than usual: both teams were stuck in a relegation battle, so it was an extremely important game for the table. In the end, Sampdoria won 1-0 and took a big step towards staying in the league, while Genoa is teetering towards relegation. Captain Domenico Criscito & Co. currently occupy the penultimate place.

This same Criscito became a tragic figure on Saturday evening. Sampdoria led 1-0 for a long time thanks to a goal from Abdelhamid Sabiri and when many were already expecting Samp to win, there was a penalty for Genoa in the 6th minute of stoppage time. Criscito started but was denied by goalkeeper Emil Audero. The former national player then burst into tears on the field. Relegation is getting closer and closer - also because the remaining program with games against Juventus, Napoli and Bologna will be extremely difficult. Napoli gets their frustration off their chest Speaking of Napoli: The southern Italians for better or worse squandered their chances of winning the Scudetto in April. Since the 2-3 defeat against Empoli a week ago, the three-way battle has turned into a duel between Milan and Inter - unless a miracle happens.

In any case, Napoli got their frustration off their chest on Saturday and won 6-1 against Sassuolo. Curious: After just 21 minutes it was 4-0 for Luciano Spalletti's team. Mertens (2), Koulibaly, Osimhen, Lozano and Rrahmani scored the goals, while Lopez scored for Sassuolo. Serie A, 35th matchday Encounters 01.05.22 Atalanta
