ANDERSON SHINES AS LAZIO BEAT SAMPDORIA 2-1

Source yahoo.com
ROME (Reuters) - Lazio beat Sampdoria 2-1 on Saturday with Felipe Anderson setting up both their goals as they rebounded from last week's derby defeat to AS Roma to climb up to fourth in Serie A.
Lazio forward Ciro Immobile should have put the visitors ahead on 15 minutes when he was left completely unmarked in front of goal but his header was saved on the line by Christian Puggioni.
The keeper was beaten, however, when Sergej Milinkovic-Savic rose high to drill in his header from an Anderson cross in the 40th minute.
Lazio struck again on the stroke of halftime with Marco Parolo sliding in at the far post from yet another perfect delivery from Brazil international Anderson.
The visitors should have scored several more in the second half as Sampdoria offered little resistance.
Immobile alone squandered a bagful of chances, including one in the 70th minute after he beat the keeper but fired wide, before Patrik Schick pulled a goal back for the hosts with a powerful 89th-minute shot to set up a nervous finale.
Lazio held on to move up to 31 points with Sampdoria in ninth on 22.
League leaders Juventus, top on 36 points, face Torino in the Turin derby on Sunday.

Godin: I dream of lifting the cup

Source: FIFA.com Diego Godin has revealed he cannot stop thinking about the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia™ and expressed his desire to become the first Uruguayan in 68 years to lift the Trophy. Jules Rimet handed it to Obdulio Varela – albeit in bizarre circumstances – at the Maracana in 1950, and though  La Celeste reached the semi-finals on three occasions thereafter, they have never gone further, losing to Hungary in 1954, Brazil in 1970, and the Netherlands in 2010. Eight teams have shorter odds of winning Russia 2018 than Uruguay, but that does not stop the Atletico Madrid centre-back from dreaming big. “There isn’t a day goes by that I stop thinking about the World Cup,” Godin told  Radio Rincón . “I dream of lifting the Trophy – of course, I do. “We qualified for the World Cup well. The important thing is that no-one gets injured, that everyone is right physically.”Godin believes the secret to Uruguay’s prosperity under Oscar Tabarez – t...
