Simy Nwankwo Nets 14th Serie A Goal As Sampdoria Teach Crotone Harsh Lesson

The Nigeria international continues to show his sharpness in front of goal, but his side was unable to match the superior firepower of their hosts

Crotone lost 3-1 to Sampdoria at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, with Simy Nwankwo scoring the visitors’ only goal from the penalty spot.

With Sampdoria already leading Crotone 2-0 thanks to goals from Damsgaard and Jakub Jankto, the visitors were awarded a penalty when Sampdoria’s Albin Ekdal conceded a penalty for tripping Arkadiusz Reca.

Nwankwo then stepped forward to dispatch his spot-kick expertly for his fourth goal of the current campaign.

That strike was also the Super Eagles star’s 14th goal in Serie A after he claimed three goals in his maiden campaign in the Italian top-flight.

Nwankwo later netted seven times in 23 appearances during the 2017/18 season – his second term in Italy – at the end of which Crotone were relegated.

Thirty-four goals in 70 Serie B games followed across two seasons before Crotone reclaimed their Serie A status at the end of last season.

With his 14 Serie A goals, Simy Nwankwo is now Crotone’s top goalscorer ever in the Italian premier division.

However, Fabio Quagliarella’s goal in the 65th minute ensured Sampdoria secured a 3-1 victory that condemned Simy Nwankwo and his teammates to their fourth league defeat in their last six matches.
