In Palermo, Bogliacino put Napoli in front by heading in a cross from Ezequiel Lavezzi in the 55th minute for his first Serie A goal. The midfielder was hit in the face by a defender and cut, but he continued playing after getting bandaged.
Two minutes later, Tedesco equalized with an off-balance shot that deflected in off a Napoli defender. Tedesco's winner in the 66th minute came from a corner.
Referee Roberto Rosetti blew for a penalty kick for Palermo in the 75th minute for an apparent hand ball, but a linesman correctly clarified that the ball hit Napoli defender Gyorgy Garics on the chest.
Tedesco and Franco Brienza both hit the post for Palermo within two minutes of each other in the first half.
Marek Hamsik's shot skimmed just over the crossbar for Napoli in the 18th minute and Lavezzi's attempt in the 42nd minute was straight at Palermo goalkeeper Alberto Fontana.
Palermo were without their top two strikers, as Amauri was banned and Fabrizio Miccoli was injured.
In Genoa, Sampdoria took the lead against visitors Empoli when Giacomazzi directed the ball into his own net while trying to prevent Christian Maggio from getting to a loose ball directly in front of goal.
Maggio then provided the pass that Montella redirected in for the 140th Serie A goal of his career.
Sammarco scored from close range off a backheel from Andrea Caracciolo.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen go into today’s match at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim stung from their first league defeat in 16 months. Leverkusen were beaten 3-2 at home by RB Leipzig before the international break, the first loss since May last year for the reigning league and cup champions. While any defeat, particularly against a likely title rival, would have disappointed coach Xabi Alonso, the way in which it happened would be most concerning. Just as they did in the Supercup against VfB Stuttgart and in the league opener to Borussia Moenchengladbach, Leverkusen scored first, but were pegged back. However, while Leverkusen rallied late to
If all goes well when the biggest marathon field ever gathered in Australia races 42km through the streets of Sydney on Sunday, World Marathon Majors (WMM) will soon add a seventh race to the elite series. The Sydney Marathon is to become the first race since Tokyo in 2013 to join long-established majors in New York, London, Boston, Berlin and Chicago if it passes the WMM assessment criteria for the second straight year. “We’re really excited for Sunday to arrive,” race director Wayne Larden told a news conference in Sydney yesterday. “We’re prepared, we’re ready. All of our plans look good on
The lights dimmed and the crowd hushed as Karoline Kristensen entered for her performance. However, this was no ordinary Dutch theater: The temperature was 80°C and the audience naked apart from a towel. Dressed in a swimsuit and to the tune of emotional music, the 21-year-old Kristensen started her routine, performed inside a large sauna, with a bed of hot rocks in the middle. For a week this month, a group of wellness practitioners, called “sauna masters,” are gathering at a picturesque health resort in the Netherlands to compete in this year’s Aufguss world sauna championships. The practice takes its name from a
When details from a scientific experiment that could have helped clear Russian figure skater Kamila Valieva landed at the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the leader of the organization’s reaction was unequivocal: “We have to stop that urgently,” he wrote. No mention of the test ever became public and Valieva’s defense at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) went on without it. What effect the information could have had on Valieva’s case is unclear, but without it, the skater, then 15 years old, was eventually disqualified from the 2022 Winter Olympics after testing positive for a banned heart medication that would later
