Match Action

Martins Adailton and Marcelo Zalayeta both hit the woodwork early on when there were offside flags, but the Uruguayan appeared to be in a valid position.
Nicola Pozzi picked up a knee injury and was replaced by Antonio Cassano just 28 minutes in.

Miguel Angel Britos nodded Adailton’s corner wide and Marco Storari blocked an Antonio Busce’ effort.

On 33 minutes Zalayeta spread the play for winger Busce’ and the cross from the right found Adailton, who shot wide from five yards.

Storari also dealt comfortably with an Adailton header into the ground and at the other end Emiliano Viviano controlled Gastaldello’s attempt from a corner.

Giampaolo Pazzini apologised when he accidentally stamped on Viviano’s hand as the goalkeeper bravely rushed out to gather at his feet.

Andrea Poli drilled wide for the Blucerchiati, as did substitute Daniele Mannini.

Sampdoria scored with four minutes to go. A corner was whipped in and Gastaldello came sliding from six yards for a low volley that beat Viviano.

Bologna equalised in stoppage time, it was a chaotic move as a set play was not cleared effectively, Lanna’s ball over the top went over the offside Succi and found Andrea Raggi’s volley at the back post. It is certainly arguable that Succi was interfering with play, as he dummied a shot in front of the goalkeeper.

The result leaves Samp in sixth place and Bologna in 14th.
