PARMA (ITALPRESS) – The salvation challenge between Parma and Venezia ends 1-1. Two penalties, those of Pohjanpalo and Hernani, one for each time, decided the match. Two points in three matches for the lagunari, who absolutely must win to try to find the maybe to fight for salvation: in the next round there will be the derby with Verona. The Emilians, on the other hand, are still fighting to stay in the top category: now they will face Milan. The match at the Tardini was played at a high pace from the first minutes. The first chance came from Mihaila, but his shot ended just wide. Di Francesco’s team tried to exploit the spaces on the counterattack, at 18′ – after a Var review – the director awarded a penalty kick for a foul by Keita on Yeboah: from the penalty spot came Pohjanpalo, on his sixth goal of the season. The hosts tried in the final minutes of the first half, in the two best chances the Ducals failed to frame the goal.In the second half, the Crusaders’ equalizer came due to another miscalculation, Candela knocked down Camara in the box, from the eleven meters Hernani came up and did not miss. Fifteen minutes from 90′ Stankovic “made up” a sensational save on Hernani’s free kick. At 33′ Venezia found the overtaking goal with Oristanio but the goal was disallowed due to an irregular position: Parma had protested an earlier foul, also on Camara. The Ivorian also tried in the midst of the recovery but Stankovic countered with another applauding intervention. Lots of confusion in the final part of the match: the draw serves little purpose to both teams.- photo Ipa Agency -(ITALPRESS).
