MD20 - Viola/Siena -- 29 Gennaio 2012 (R)

I love these early matches. Just started and Jovetic scores at about the 3:20 mark off a throw-in.

 

Boruc
Gamberini-----Natali-----Nastasic
Cassani---Behrami---Montolivo---Lazzari---Pasqual
Amauri---Jovetic​

 

Besides that opening goal we didn't really do a whole lot for most of the half. The last 5-7 minutes, though, we were much better. Amauri really seemed to find himself during that stretch, as well.

I'm interested to see how much of the second half he plays.

1-0 HT

 

62' Amauri heads in Montolivo's FK and scores on his debut.

2-0

!!!

 

I could see Amauri heading a lot of balls down into Jovetic' path this season. Jo-Jo could definitely benefit from his arrival.

 

Yeah may have came off that dude's back.

 

Tre a Zero, perche no?

 

I think Amauri looks sorta like Lestat.

 

Oooohhh...

 

86:15 and Ljajic comes on for Amauri. Surprised he played this long, tbh but I am hopeful for the future. He and Jovetic seem tailor-made for each other.

 

PK for Siena. Handball on Nastasic in the area.

 

2-1

 

2-1 FT

I though Amauri looked good from about the 40' on. He was pretty much invisible before that. He held up the ball well and headed down some balls for Jovetic. Forced some crucial saves.

 

Here's the goal. Natali got credit for it.
