There were chances at both ends in the opening half-hour, but it was the hosts who went in front after 36 minutes through Alessio Cerci from the spot after Alejandro Gonzalez handled in the box.

However, just before the break Verona were level through Juan Gomez Taleb, who finished low after being set up by Luca Toni.

Cerci finished off a fine counter-attacking move five minutes after the restart for his second goal but the visitors refused to lie down.

They got back level through a Jorginho penalty, but there was to be no winner as the sides settled for 2-2.
