Palermo 7–0 FC Paradiso: Pre‑Season Rout as Palermo Shine

Palermo kicked off their pre‑season campaign in emphatic style, crushing FC Paradiso 7‑0 in an International Club Friendly on July 22, 2026. The match, played at Palermo’s training ground, offered the Serie B side an ideal opportunity to build match sharpness and test new combinations.

Dominant Display from the Start

Palermo wasted no time in asserting their superiority. Within the opening 20 minutes they had already raced to a 3‑0 lead, with goals from a variety of sources. The team’s high press and quick passing caused constant problems for Paradiso, who struggled to contain the home side’s movement.

First Half: Five Goals Before the Break

By the interval, Palermo had added two more goals to make it 5‑0. The fifth goal came from a well‑executed counter‑attack that sliced through the Paradiso defence. The visiting team rarely threatened Palermo’s goal and were left shell‑shocked by the relentless pressure.

Second Half: Controlled Efficiency

The second period saw Palermo take their foot off the gas slightly, but they still managed to add two more goals. A penalty converted in the 60th minute made it 6‑0, and a composed finish in the 78th minute completed the 7‑0 rout. Paradiso had their best spell midway through the half but were unable to find a consolation.

Key Performers

• Striking depth: Multiple forwards got on the scoresheet, highlighting Palermo’s attacking options for the coming season.
• Midfield control: The midfield duo dictated the pace and created numerous chances.
• Defensive solidity: The backline kept a clean sheet, which will please the coaching staff.

Looking Ahead

For Palermo, this result is a positive start to their pre‑season schedule as they prepare for the Serie B campaign. FC Paradiso, from a lower division, will treat the match as valuable experience against stronger opposition. Both sides will continue their preparations with friendlies in the coming weeks.
