Sampdoria 3-2 Juventus

The new intramural championship got off to a fantastic start with a thrilling encounter between two of the favourites.
After the initial jousting, it was Stuart who put his side up with a trademark thunderbolt that saw the ball slam into the net, almost accompanied by Luca's head.
Sampdoria - today without their captain, Jacopo - tried hard to fight back back but Ascanio made some great saves.
Samp went two down early in the second half when Thomas handled in the area and allowed Filippo G to open his account. The pattern of the game remained the same though, with Juve looking to get the ball to Edoardo P as often as possible while Sampdoria had more options up front with Stuart, Filippo G and Sam full of running.
Sampdoria went 3-0 up when Filippo nipped in front of a defender to flick home a seemingly harmless ball from midfield.
But then, just when Juve looked dead, Edo P threaded his way through the defence and scored. On a wave of new-found enthusiasm, they re-doubled their efforts and were rewarded again when an Edo pass fell to Andrew Coleman in the area. Andrew cooly controlled the ball and scored.
But, in the end, Juve ran out of time and Sampdoria took all three points.
