Hellas blunt in attack without Toni
Having sustained injury last time out against Atalanta, Hellas were without last season’s 22-goal man Toni for this clash. And the Gialloblu were left wanting in attack.
Throughout the entirety of the match, Mandorlini’s men could only muster one shot on target and came close to scoring on just two occasions in the game, with the aforementioned Sala’s thunderbolt cannoning off the crossbar and substitute Luca Siligardi, who admittedly should have levelled proceedings, firing wide in the final 15 minutes following a menacing run from Leandro Greco.
With the Veronese side’s attacking stocks further limited by the injury endured by Pazzini, with Toni confirmed to be out for two months, Hellas go into their next clash with Lazio light on options up front.
