Sampdoria 2 - Inter 2
GENOA - Christian Vieri celebrated his return from injury with two goals at the Marassi on Sunday afternoon, but a competitive Sampdoria side twice came back from behind to force a draw.
Bobogol put the Nerazzurri in front just after the half hour with a superb flicked header into the top right-hand corner from Alvaro Recoba 's left-wing free kick. The home side equalised eleven minutes after the restart when Cipriani pounced on a loose ball from a corner then from close range slammed his shot past Toldo .
Zaccheroni's reply was to bring on Adriano for Cruz and Inter went close to a second soon after when Vieri 's header from Recoba 's cross came off the far post. Bobo made no mistake eleven minutes from time when he stabbed home after receiving short from Adriano . But Samp weren't finished and after Cirpriani was fouled by Cannavaro in the box Doni smashed his penalty kick into the roof of the net to salvage a point.
The Nerazzurri host Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-final return leg on Thursday then entertain Udinese next Sunday in Week 21 of the Serie A .
