The Giallorossi, on the other hand, slip out of the Champions area and remain stuck at 50 in the list.
It is Roma starting with a rocket at the Tardini stadium. After only one hundred and twenty seconds Dzeko warms up Sepe’s gloves, careful to control the Bosnian’s conclusion. Two minutes later the first controversial episode of the match arrives: Hernani suspiciously disturbs Pellegrini in the penalty area: for the match director Piccinini everything is regular. The game continues and the hosts take advantage of it. Parma, surprisingly, took the lead in the 9th minute: Mihaila took advantage of Man’s assist and from a few steps past Pau Lopez. The Capitoline team tries to react and returns to permanently occupy the yellow and blue half of the field. Shortly before the half hour Pellegrini has a double chance on his right: at 24 ‘he commits Sepe from distance; at 27 ‘the goalkeeper smanaccia his conclusion for a corner. The opportunity for the 2-0 goal arrives at the feet of Graziano Pellè: the Parma center forward, on 33 ‘, fails to turn the ball towards goal and thwarts a good action by Hernani. After a close fight in midfield, the two teams fail to sting each other further. At the end of the first half, at 44 ‘, Mancini concludes from outside the area: ball deflected for a corner by Mihaila without particular problems.
In the second half Parma continues to push on the accelerator. At 48 ‘Man goes one step away from doubling: the Romanian striker, face to face with Pau Lopez, is hypnotized. Three minutes later Roma almost equal: the deviation of the Crusader defensive line was decisive. The key episode arrives in the 53rd minute: Ibanez lands in the Pellé penalty area, it is a penalty for the Emilians. From the spot Hernani displaces the goalkeeper and makes no mistake: it is 2-0. Despite the disadvantage, the Giallorossi do not give up: at 62 ‘Mancini’s header is dangerous, good at anticipating Bani, a little less at directing the ball in the mirror. At 67 ‘the protests of El Shaarawy are fierce for an alleged touch of Conti’s hand in the penalty area: for the referee everything is regular, the match continues. In the last quarter of an hour, Fonseca’s team tried the boarding: at 77 ‘Carles Perez got on his own, brought the ball to the left and committed Sepe from long distance. On the reversal in front, Parma tries to close the match with Mihaila, but Pau Lopez is careful in parrying.
