Sampdoria - Napoli was the derby of this matchday, in Italy, despite other encounters which included Juventus - Roma and Inter - Fiorentina.
Both Ciro Ferrara 's team and Mazzarri's Napoli were unbeaten prior to this match.
Sampdoria seemed to press a little more, being the home side, and everything. And not just after going down to a Cavani penalty (in minute 67), awarded for a somewhat weak foul. (I specifically state the exaggerated reaction of referee Tagliavento to the infraction, because Gastaldello also got the red card for it.)
After being penalized with one point in the standings, Sampdoria again encounters bad luck. But, despite the loss, they are still in the top five in Serie A. And they could go again up to third next weekend, because both Inter and Lazio have very tough matches. (Inter has to face AC Milan, and Lazio will have to go to the in-form Pescara, which managed two wins out of their last two matches and went unbeaten in their last three. Of course, Doria would have to win at Chievo for that to have a chance of happening, on the other hand.)
