Half-Time Report: Parma fail to convert chances at Sampdoria

Sampdoria and Parma remain goalless at half time on the final day of the Serie A season.

Sampdoria started the game strongly and created the first chance of the match after 11 minutes as Samuel Eto'o was released through on goal, but his effort was denied by Antonio Mirante.

Parma struggled in the early stages but missed two clear opportunities to take the lead as Silvestre Varela headed over the bar from the middle of the box, before Antonio Nocerino steered an effort wide from 12 yards.

The visitors continued to pile forward and were denied by the post on their next attempt as Jose Mauri's long-range strike left the goalkeeper stranded.

However, neither side could break the deadlock and will hope to be more ruthless in attack in the second half.
