MATCH DAY 38
SAMPDORIA VS. GENOA
"THE GENOA DERBY"

SAMPDORIA EASILY TAKES DERBY

GENOA,ITA.-In the 75th minute the shouts were heard around the stadium as the fans collectively called for the head of Genoa manager Gian Piero Gasperini. Club president Enrico Preziosi was seen leaving the stadium shortly thereafter. It seems that the sack is on it's way.

In a less than inspiring effort Genoa's last loss of the 2008-09 season may have been it's most painful as the il grifone (the Griffin) lost to local rivals Sampdoria 3-1.

Genoa took an early 1-0 lead on Greco's goal, but Sampdoria answered twice before the break and again in the 54th.

Genoa would never come close again and the 2008-09 season ends with 3 straight losses. Genoa finished the season in 18th place just 3 points behind 17th place Lecce.
