Christian Zaccardo’s third goal of the season gave Parma their first win of 2010, against Sampdoria this afternoon.

Parma started strongly having a goal disallowed in the opening minutes along with efforts from Valiani and Biabiany.

Hernan Crespo picked up an injury and had to be replaced on the half hour mark by Valeri Bojinov whose  snapshot immediately caused Storari some problems.

Straight after the restart Parma had another goal disallowed with Bojinov straying into an offside position.

Parma finally got the opening goal on 54 minutes through Zaccardo. Cutting back past his marker and hitting the ball across the face of the goal and into the far bottom corner.

The referee awarded Sampdoria a penalty after Daniele Galloppa bundled Mannini over in the area but changed his mind after consulting with the fourth official.

Parma were put under pressure for the remainder of the game but hung on to record their first win since December 13th.
