11 January 2021 La Spezia overcomes Sampdoria 2-1 at the 'Peak' in the new Ligurian derby.

For the rookies in the top division it is a success that follows the sensational one in Naples and allows you to create a margin on the relegation zone.

The Sampdoria do not take the opportunity to overtake Benevento in tenth place.



Usually 4-3-3 for Italian, with Gyasi, Nzola and Farias on the offensive front.

Ranieri chooses 4-4-1-1 with Damsgaard behind Keita.

Beautiful and enjoyable game in the first half, played by two teams that do not give up the game.

Sensational double opportunity for Thorsby and Keita, who hit a wall in front of the white line.

Prompt response from the hosts: Nzola engages in a duel with the defense who is saved in trouble;

then Estevez kicks from the outside of first intention from the edge and misses the target by centimeters.

So many emotions, even the goals arrive.

At 20 ', on development from a corner, Chabot's tower for Terzi who anticipates two defenders and bags.

The response of the guests is not long in coming.

Jankto severely commits Provedel with a low diagonal.

And in the 24th minute the same Candreva packs it with an acrobatic conclusion on Jankto's assist.

La Spezia starts again, Estevez and Pobega do not impress Audero.



More cautious recovery, with more attention to the defensive phase.

The equilibrium is broken again in favor of the hosts due to a lightness of Thorsby, who charges Pobega behind him in advance to hit a head on a cross.

From the spot goes Nzola, impeccable (61 ').

Italian increases protection in midfield with Agudelo for Farias.

Difficulty for Sampdoria once close to the sixteen meters of La Spezia, on the other front the hosts do not exploit a couple of interesting gusts on the counterattack.

Ranieri enters Quagliarella (outside Darmsgaard) with just over 10 'still to play.

Audero keeps his in the waterline by rejecting the close touch of the newly entered Piccoli.

In the recovery, the only real jolt of Sampdoria in the second half: Yoshida's head screw ends up very little.
