Serie B, Parma-Frosinone 0-1. Cicerelli gives the Ciociari the third consecutive victory

Cicerelli is the ace in the hole of Frosinone di Grosso, the wild card drawn in the second half to puncture Buffon and take the third consecutive success. Parma stops at Vazquez’s crossbar in the second half and returns to lick their wounds, while the Lazio temporarily overtake Monza reaching Lecce in fifth place: the advance of the 20th matchday of Serie B ends 0-1.

Teeth c’è

An all gialloblù match between two teams in the recovery phase in terms of results must deal with the usual absences that this historical period requires. On the pitch, however, the points at stake are always the same and the caliber of the two teams is not indifferent. A name is enough, for example, that of Gianluigi Buffon. At first fought but not exactly spectacular, the 2006 world champion is called into question on the two main occasions of the 45 minutes, both therefore created by Frosinone. First it is Alessio Zerbin, the man of two goals, to test the reactivity of the goalkeeper and to see his shot from the edge deflected in a corner kick. Towards the end of the fraction it is instead Luca Garritano, diving with his head, to try it at the invitation of Camillo Ciano: another parade. On the other side, there is the usual Federico Gatti who interrupts Parma’s offensive proposals.

BIG SHOT

The recovery begins if possible with an even softer pace, but Fabio Grosso in the second half draws the joker on Friday night from the bench. It is Emanuele Cicerelli, who takes advantage of a once again loose marking and frees his right foot from the edge of the area: this time Buffon can’t get there and Frosinone takes the lead. The Emilian reaction is entrusted to the talent of Franco Vazquez, who frees himself just outside the area a quarter of an hour from the end and releases a great shot against the crossbar. After the bogeyman of an immediate play-off, the guests return to lead the game, but in the 87th minute a shot by Roberto Inglese touches Federico Ravaglia’s post: a signal that the guard should not be lowered. It doesn’t happen anymore: Parma won only two times this season at Ennio Tardini, the last one last November 1 against Vicenza.
