Sampdoria hold Fiorentina in Serie A

Sampdoria

and Fiorentina battled to a 1-1 draw in a Serie A match originally set for last month that was postponed after the August 14 collapse of Genoa’s Morandi Bridge, which left 43 people dead and dozens more injured.

Giovanni Simeone, son of Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone, put Fiorentina on the board in the 13th minute with help from a fine cross by Cristiano Biraghi. Gianluca Caprari had a chance to equalise for the hosts on a free kick before the break, only for his shot to bounce off the crossbar, but he went on to score in the 60th minute with an assist from Edgar Barreto.
