Juventus and Sampdoria played out a thrilling 3-3 draw this afternoon in Turin.
The two sides came into this game in very different form. Juve were beaten 1-0 in Bari on the opening weekend, while the Blucerchiati had won 2-0 away to Lazio.
Giampaolo Pazzini, Paolo Sammarco, Andrea Poli, Pietro Accardi, Fernando Tissone and Stefano Guberti didn’t make the trip due to injury. The Bianconeri were without Gigi Buffon, Amauri, Momo Sissoko, Jorge Martinez and new signing Armand Traore.
Seventeen years ago today, Alessandro Del Piero made his Juve debut against Foggia.
The best of the early chances fell to Nicola Pozzi after a mistake by Felipe Melo. Marco Storari managed to parry it for a corner.
Cassano also had a great opportunity for the Blucerchiati and again ex-teammate Storari had to rush off his line to close him down in a one-on-one.
Sampdoria had the best of the first half and took the lead. Cassano got the better of Marco Motta on the left and pulled it back for Pozzi, who finished neatly into the bottom corner.
Del Piero came close with a free-kick that shaved the post.
Juventus equalised when Milos Krasic knocked the ball down for the oncoming Claudio Marchisio, who thumped the ball into the net.
The first half ended with the score at 1-1. Shortly after half-time, Juve went ahead in chaotic fashion. A moment of chaos in the Sampdoria penalty area involving Gastaldello, Curci, Quagliarella and Pepe ended with Pepe bundling the ball over the line. The goal stood even though replays suggest the winger may have been offside.
Krasic should’ve scored his team’s third. He out-sprinted three defenders but his low drive was beaten away by Curci.
Del Piero again hit a free-kick narrowly wide.
Sampdoria got back into the game when Cassano and Angelo Palombo combined and Fantantonio beat Storari.
The game wasn’t tied for long. Fabio Quagliarella made it 3-2 after Pepe had numegged Zauri.
It was a spectacular second half and Sampdoria made it 3-3 a few minutes later. Guido Marilungo came on for Franco Semioli and it was his splendid cross from the right that found Pozzi in space between Leonardo Bonucci and Marco Motta. Gigi Delneri will be far from happy with his two new defenders.
Del Piero crossed from the left with the outside of his right foot but Curci tipped it away from the feet of Quagliarella. Vincenzo Iaquinta’s deflected effort from point-blank range forced Curci into another save. Finally, Felipe Melo headed narrowly wide from a corner.
Juventus: Storari; Motta (Grygera 76), Bonucci, Chiellini, De Ceglie; Krasic (Iaquinta 78), Felipe Melo, Marchisio, Pepe (Aquilani 78); Del Piero, Quagliarella
Sampdoria: Curci; Zauri, Gastaldello, Lucchini (Volta 79), Ziegler; Semioli (Marilungo 69), Palombo, Dessena, Koman (Obiang 58); Cassano, Pozzi

Di Carlo: Pazzini & Palombo not for sale
May/100
Mimmo Di Carlo’s first words as Sampdoria boss will have been reassuring to Blucerchiati fans.
When asked if Angelo Palombo or Giampaolo Pazzini would be following Gigi Del Neri and Beppe Marotta to Turin, he replied:
“The President has already declared that they are not for sale.”
The tactician also spoke with excitement about his new adventure.
“It’s an honour to be here. I felt incredible joy last night when I was given the okay to complete the move. It’s an honour to be here and the Champions League will be a fantastic stage to play on. We’ll always give our best.”
Finally, he commented on Antonio Cassano.
“He is an important player and I want our relationship to be clear from day one. Our bond will grow and I’m sure he’ll have a great season as he will want to break into the Italy side for the European Championship.”

Samp’s misery was to continue as Juventus continued to dominate, on the 63rd minute Amauri was to add a forth. Camoranesi crossed in from the right, the Samp defence failed to get anything on it and the Juventus forward headed in.
