You could agree that most footballers want to play as many matches as possible and contribute as much as possible to success, but many end up sitting on the bench and persistently waiting for their chance, which must be maximally exploited at the given moment. The latter was portrayed as if from some textbook by Petar Stojanović, who led Sampdoria to an important victory in the 31st round match of the Italian Serie B against Ternana.
But let’s go in order… The hosts took the lead in the 36th minute when one of the two home heroes, Manuel De Luca, converted the penalty and went into halftime with an advantage, but the scoreboard was leveled in the 65th minute by Gastón Pereiro.
In the 76th minute, Stojanović got his chance and capitalized on it just seven minutes later when he found himself alone in front of the opposing goalkeeper after an exceptional combination by the home team and calmly placed the ball beyond the goal line.
However, the former Maribor player was not satisfied with just a goal, as in the next action of his team after a run on the right side, he set up De Luca with a masterful cross in the penalty area, who scored three times in the match.
The mentioned duo struck again just before the end of the match, setting the final score of the match (4:1) in the same roles. With his excellent performance, the Slovenian international earned a rating of 9.8 on the Sofascore portal, which means he was the highest-rated player on the mentioned website yesterday.
