Inzaghi wins the third match in a row. For the Blucerchiati, who remain in penultimate place, it is an endless crisis: only one goal from Coda, then darkness
How do you say “run-up” in French? Many will be looking for him in Palermo after Le Douaron’s second goal in a row: the former Brest striker, after having scored the coup against Empoli, beats Samp. The advance of Serie B ends 1-0 for the rosanero. Three platinum-plated points for Inzaghi and his team who, although not shining to the full, for the first time collected three successes in a row and rose to 29 points, -2 from the leading pair Frosinone-Monza. Samp leaves Barbera with the small consolation of a balanced recovery, albeit without just one shot on target in the entire match: the Dorians are still in penultimate place.

Inzaghi wants to repeat the good success of Empoli, with respect to which he confirms the trident: Le Douaron and Palumbo behind Pohjanpalo. Samp has not won a victory in the Rosanero fort since 2008: the Dorians rely on forward striker Coda supported by Pafundi and Benedetti. The Sicilians were immediately lively and called Ghidotti to intervene twice, first on Augello’s left foot and then on Ranocchia’s looping solution. Samp do not enter the game, while Inzaghi asks to press again: Ghidotti still has time to splendidly oppose Ranocchia, but is beaten in the 29th minute by Le Douaron who feints with his left foot and then completes a good move on the counterattack with his right. The only guest call: Coda’s header in the 38th minute, the ball goes out of nowhere.
the PADLOCK by Inzaghi

Samp needs a spark: Benedetti looks for it by receiving from a corner, but Joronen does well to extend himself. Palermo realized they had taken a big risk and built their chance to double the lead in the 52nd minute, when Ceccaroni deflected Palumbo’s cross from close range, but found Ghidotti’s open hand to say no. The Ligurians thank their goalkeeper and remain on the waterline, but the pace slows down, also because the rosanero lower the pressure, paying attention above all to the marking of Coda and the substitute Pedrola who comes on in the 68th minute and shows himself with a serpentine which ends up off target. Samp needs a generous finish: stop and turn by Henderson in full recovery, just over. Inzaghi’s lock resists every impact: Palermo celebrates, while the Dorians continue in the painful away taboo which, post-season aside, has resisted since October 2024.
