The Serie A match from 19 March 2023 between Sampdoria and Hellas Verona at Luigi Ferraris ended in a 3-1 victory for the home side. It was an intense match with statistical factors highlighting a well-balanced game on both ends.

In terms of goals, Sampdoria's Manolo Gabbiadini led the win, scoring the first two goals at 23:57 and 35:01 during the first half, the latter with an assist by Bram Nuytinck. Hellas Verona managed to obtain a goal in the second half at 01:27:52 by Marco Davide Faraoni, assisted by Pawel Dawidowicz. Nonetheless, Sampdoria sealed the match when Alessandro Zanoli, assisted by Jese Rodriguez Ruiz, scored the final goal at 01:37:59 into the second half.

Critically, even though Sampdoria ended the match with fewer shots on target (4 compared to Hellas Verona's 6), they were efficient with their chances, evidenced by the final score line. On the other side, Hellas Verona had more shots both on and off target (6 and 10 respectively) compared to Sampdoria (4 and 7 respectively), highlighting the defensive stronghold from Sampdoria, managing to deflect these attempts.

In terms of control and possession, Hellas Verona outshone Sampdoria, with 8 corner kicks as opposed to Sampdoria's 5; yet, Sampdoria showed a more constructive gameplay by converting their chances into goals effectively.

Both teams were equal in terms of fouls, totaling 10 each.

Hellas Verona dealt with a lesser but significant two yellow cards, which also occurred in the latter half of the match, potentially disrupting their gameplay.

To conclude, Sampdoria’s prowess in exploiting goal opportunities and the overall efficient defense was key in their victory over Hellas Verona.
