Michele Paolucci’s breakaway goal early in the first half was all the Rossoblu needed to secure a victory over Chievo Verona. A positional error by Marco Malagò allowed Paolucci to get behind the Donkeys’ defence and slip the ball past Sorrentino, who had committed early. Chievo had a couple of reasonable chances, but were otherwise [...]

Juve Donates a Point to Catania

I think its a very good sign when a team wins games it should not. That was certainly the case Wednesday, as Gli Elefanti got a better result that they should have from a Juventus team that generally dominated play. In some cases, Bizzarri stood on his head to keep Catania in the game, at [...]

Catania continued their stout play at home with a narrow 1-0 result against Atalanta, who began the day atop the Serie A table. Michele Paolucci, who was left out of the starting eleven against Inter, slipped the ball in on the short side of Atalanta keeper Ferdinando “Don’t-call-me-Sofia” Coppola for the only goal of the [...]

Catania moved into the 5th round of the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, with a convincing 4-0 win over upstart Padova. Some might have seen Gli Elefanti as ripe for an upset, following the controversial loss to Inter on the weekend, and given Padova’s run of form in the competition to date.

By now you’ve probably heard the exchange of words between Inter coach Jose Mourinho and Catania chief executive Pietro Lo Monaco. Following the misleadingly-close 2-1 Inter win this past weekend, Mourinho posited that the score could well have been “3-1, 4-1 or 5-1.” This was an affront to Lo Monaco, who suggested that ‘The Special [...]

As many predicted, Catania left San Siro this weekend without stealing points from the sleeping giant, Inter. No surprises there. Moreover, they kept the score close, losing only by a goal, and one that may not actually have crossed the line. Not bad. Good effort. It should not have been that close anyway.
Not quite.

While fans have been pleasantly surprised by Catania’s consistent pre-season form, not to mention the opening win over Genoa, honest Etnei would readily admit that its difficult to estimate the quality of the squad based on the competition to date. This weekend poses a real test for Gli Elefanti, as they head north to face [...]

A second-half tally by Giuseppe Mascara powered the Rossoblu to a narrow 1-0 win over the visitors from Genoa. After a disallowed goal off the head of Silvestri against the flow of play, Genoa took the play to Catania, only to have their efforts spoiled by Mascara. Lots of creative play by Catania’s new-look midfield [...]
