Parma’s wall is insurmountable, Bologna doesn’t go beyond 0-0

The Emilian derby between Bologna and Parma ends goalless, with Vincenzo Italiano’s eleven despite having numerical superiority in the 52nd minute, they were unable to break through the wall erected by Fabio Pecchia’s team. Parma started better, with several initiatives developed on the right lane thanks to Man’s explosiveness and the geometries of the crusader midfield, all at the service of Bonny. However, Bologna will have the first real chance of the match, in the 29th minute, on the corner taken in the heart of the Parma area and directed towards the goal by Castro, who just misses Suzuki’s goal with his header.

Gialloblù goalkeeper who will have to work a little later, on the sprint and shot of Ndoye who kicks with his left foot but is blocked by the Japanese. Lots of pace but few other scoring chances until the end of the first half, while at the start of the second half comes the episode that leaves Parma with ten men: Coulibaly’s hammer foot on Ndoye and the referee Di Bello who, after checking the VAR , changes the initial yellow card issued to the Crociati defender to red.

Numerical superiority that Bologna immediately tries to exploit, with Castro’s right-footed shot from the edge of the area to which Suzuki is still reactive and dives to say no. Physiological growth of the rossoblu, who progressively besiege Parma’s frontline, but are solid in their defense of their opponents’ advances. The match thus enters its final phase, with the partial blocked and the game increasingly fragmented due to fouls and tiredness overall of the twenty-two in the field.

In the 88th minute it was the new substitute Karlsson who scared Parma with a long-range shot deflected by Bernabè and which almost ended up in the net. Recovery which then sees Pecchia’s team even have the ball of the possible 1-0, on the break of Mihaila who kicks with the right and finds the diving save from Ravaglia, who keeps the definitive 0-0 standing with which the match ends Dall’Ara match.
