Fiorentina out of breath, Parma comes close to a breakthrough

Parma-Fiorentina 1-1

Full Tardini Stadium and enthusiasm in all sectors. Parma and Fiorentina begin the championship with different aspirations: the first plays for a quiet salvation, the second to improve the ranking of the previous championship. Fiorentina seems to command the game but the ducali, with order, close the spaces and try to hit in the restarts and just from one of these comes the advantage: on a header Valeri passes to Bonny who sees Man arriving defiladed on the right, pass to the Romanian who adjusts the ball and aims the opposite corner, nothing to do for Terracciano. Fiorentina in confusion and Parma going close on more than one occasion to doubling the score.

In the second half the Viola try to organize and press but Parma closes with order. The goal, coincidentally, came on Biraghi’s spot kick after an exit out of the area with the ball in Suzuki’s hands. Parma reacts and Fiorentina, tired, retreats and remains in 10 for the expulsion of Pongracic with 10 minutes to go. Parma believes, tries to strike and the most limpid opportunity is missed, two minutes from the end, by a wretched Cyprien. 

Pecchia’s boys for the chances they had deserved the victory, Fiorentina starts the championship badly.
