I start with a bang for him Benevento, who wins in the first game since his return to Serie A 3-2 the Sampdoria recovering a disadvantage of two networks. Quagliarella in 8 ‘and Colley in 18’ deceive Sampdoria, but Pippo Inzaghi’s men find the strength to react: central defender Caldirola, in his debut in Serie A, signs a double in 33 ‘and 72’ , lateral Letizia hits Audero two minutes from 90 ‘and gives victory to his team.
THE MATCH
In the 2017/18 season, it took Benevento 15 games to score the first historic point in Serie A. This time, however, three came after the first 90 minutes (the match of the first day had been postponed), at the end of a complicated game from the beginning reassembled with great personality. However, no one would have thought of such an ending after 20 minutes of play: at 8 ‘, in fact, from a serious error in the disconnection of Montipò Quagliarella was born 1-0, while at 18 ‘Colley led the doubling crossed by an excellent Candreva. With the aim of doubling, however, the pressure from Sampdoria becomes less overwhelming and Benevento finally wins a shot: at 25 ‘Audero must come back on Moncini’s conclusion, but at 33’ he cannot do anything against Caldirola, than on the developments of a corner discharge a violent right that is worth 1-2. For the 29-year-old center-back, it’s the first goal in Serie A: it won’t be the only one.
The giallorossi return in the second half with a lot of desire to draw: Roberto Insigne and Ionita try to do it a couple of times, but Audero is always present. Dorian’s goalkeeper, however, cannot do anything in the 72nd minute: it is still Caldirola’s turn to score, this time escaping from the opponent’s goal and hitting his head for 2-2. Immediately the blow, Samp tries to revive: at 84 ‘the newly admitted Gabbiadini hits the pole with the head to the right of Montipò, a minute later Jankto enters the net, but the man who attends him, Depaoli, is in an irregular position at the beginning of the action. The game seems destined for 2-2 but at 88 ‘comes the surprise: action on Benevento’s board, Sau loses the moment in the area and decides to take Letizia behind him: the right hand of the Samnite side is lightning, Audero He can’t get there, it’s 3-2. Four minutes of discount are not enough for Sampdoria to avoid starting the championship from zero points in two games: the victory ends in Benevento, which immediately shows that it is back in Serie A to stay.
REPORT CARDS
Caldirola 7.5: What a Serie A debut for Captain Samnite: precise on defense (where he compensates for Glik’s moderate performance), lethal on attack, with a dream double.
Letizia 7: His fantastic low shot from afar is worth three points, but it is the winger’s overall performance that convinces. He is tireless and charismatic, his is a game to remember.
Montipò 5: Suffering from anxiety to debut in Serie A and give opponents 1-0. This time he does not deserve sufficiency, but a trial is postponed for the next games.
Quagliarella 6.5: It only takes eight minutes for him to demonstrate his sense of goal, in general his presence on the field is essential for leadership and talent. However, it is not enough for victory.
Candreva 7: Show as a great professional that you do not see the farewell of Inter as a rejection. Assistance and quality in the first part, only fatigue stops him in the second part.
Tonelli 4.5: He suffers constantly in the center of defense and it is no coincidence that two of the three goals come from a set piece. Overall performance to forget for the former Napoli.
