But, after this win (1-0, away from home), at the San Siro stadium, where they beat a dumbfounded inter, maybe there is hope for the small Piedmont team.
Caracciolo scored a goal that perhaps should not have been, in minute 56, but still a sensational effort from the on-loan Genoa striker.
Very few people probably expected Novara to hold on, even after that, but hold on they did. (And what the commentator said was: "how unfair football can be sometimes"...)
It just goes to show you the beauty of a match that is not fixed, and in which anything can happen.
