Sergio Pellissier fired Chievo to their first win on the road this season at Catania.

Pellissier earned and converted a penalty on the stroke of half-time, before setting up Paolo Sammarco to double Chievo's lead in the 73rd minute.

Catania had previously missed a great chance to equalize after Francesco Lodi's spot-kick was saved by Chievo goalkeeper Stefano Sorrentino.

The hosts reduced the deficit with 12 minutes remaining thanks to Sergio Almiron's strike from long range but could not find the net again.

This was a sorely-needed away victory that places the Flying Donkeys in a comfortable 8th place in the 20 team standings in Serie A. After a terrible October run, the Flying Donkeys seem to have found just enough scoring punch to win som tight games, even against traditionally strong teams like Catania.

Chievo's next match will be a toughy against high-flying AC Milan in a Sunday night encounter.

FORZA CHIEVO !
