Serie A: Neither coach on sidelines as Torino, Sampdoria share spoils; Gervinho's brace helps Parma beat Genoa

He did open the scoring in the 25th minute following a great solo run from Wilfried Singo. Sampdoria hadn’t had a shot on target but scored two quickfire goals in the second half. Antonio Candreva leveled in the 54th and turned provider nine minutes later with a ball over the top for former Torino forward Fabio Quagliarella. But Soualiho Meite headed in a corner in the 77th to set up a frantic finale. Relegation battle  Gervinho scored twice to help Parma record only their second win of the season and move three points above the drop zone. Gervinho scored early in each half and also hit the crossbar. Eldor Shomurodov pulled one back for Genoa in the 50th with his first goal for the club.
