Sampdoria have defeated Hellas Verona 4-1 in their Coppa Italia tie this evening.
Gianluca Sansone gave Sampdoria the lead early on when he lashed home a loose ball inside the box.
They doubled their advantage four minutes later when the keeper spilled Andrea Petagna's effort, and the rebound fell kindly to Birkir Bjarnason to pass into the net.
Samuele Longo pulled a goal back for the visitors midway through the half to give them hope of a comeback.
Sampdoria distinguished any chance they had of a second goal, when Nenad Kristic broke free of the defence, before firing a strike into the top corner.
Renan Garcia then slotted in a late fourth to seal their place in the fifth round of the cup.
