Scores equalizer against Verona Castrovilli scored a goal off two shots (one on target), sent in three inaccurate crosses and won two tackles after coming off the bench during Wednesday's 1-1 draw against Verona.

This was the first goal of the season for the midfielder and he'll hope this helps him to fight for a spot in the starting XI for Jan. 6 home match against Udinese.
