Sampdoria snatched a dramatic victory at Pescara through Fabio Depaoli's 90th-minute winner, completing a stunning comeback after entering as substitutes. The match was a fractious affair with nine yellow cards, as Pescara dominated the first half and took the lead through Antonio Di Nardo's penalty just before the break. Sampdoria's tactical changes proved decisive, with Francesco Conti equalizing in the 82nd minute before Depaoli's late heroics. The visitors' superior passing accuracy (82% vs 77%) and defensive intensity, evidenced by 19 tackles compared to Pescara's 8, ultimately wore down the hosts despite an even contest in terms of possession and chances created.
