Palermo captain Fabrizio Miccoli has admitted that his side spurned a huge opportunity to earn a win at Torino in Serie A this afternoon.

Miccoli came off the bench in Turin but failed to make the breakthrough as the relegation battle ended in a 0-0 draw.

He told Sky Italia: "This was a game that we could take home, like so many this year, but we did not succeed.

"This is a vintage curse, we do not know what to do but we will try until the end.

"A victory there is also the moral and head, a game we have to win it. During the week we will work on Sunday. I am depressed by the result, physically I'm fine."

Palermo are still 19th in Serie A and a point off Pescara at the bottom after today's goalless draw.
