Serie A strugglers Palermo move off the bottom after earning a point at Chievo.
First half:
5′ [0 – 1] M. Formica
Second half:
55′ [1 – 1] C. Théréau (pen.)
A 55th minute penalty from French striker Cyril Thereau secured a share of the points for Chievo at home to Palermo.
The visitors took a shock fifth-minute lead when Mauro Formica’s finished with a superb angled strike after the ball had been flicked into the Argentine’s path by Chievo defender Francesco Acerbi.
Chievo levelled 10 minutes after the restart when Thereau converted from the spot after Palermo defender Santiago Garcia handled in the box.
The result moved the hosts up two places to 10th ahead of the Sunday’s fixtures, with the point moving Palermo off the bottom at the expense of Siena, who host third-placed Lazio on Monday.
