Parma in ten after half an hour, Roma expels Tardini

At the Tardini in the match of the twenty-fifth day of the Serie Roma beat a Parma 1-0 in ten from just after the half-hour of the first half for the expulsion of Leoni. Second consecutive win for the guests, fourth defeat in a row for the hosts.

Pecchia also in this match, due to injuries, redesigns the formation and tries to change a path that so far has led to dead-end streets. Ranieri for his part wants to continue the series of positive results and continue climbing the standings.

Those who have the tough task are certainly the hosts since history sees them defeated 34 times in the 55 confrontations played. For the first ten minutes nothing happens until Bonny misses an inviting ball from Cancellieri in the box. All proceeds quietly or nearly so until the 29th’ when Leoni commits a last man foul on Celik: punishment and expulsion.

The following free kick è taken in a masterful way by Soulé: ball that goes over the barrier and into the’cross. The rest, until the double whistle, è boredom. In the second half Roma threatened to double but Suzuki, with two extraordinary interventions first on Soulé and then on Salah-Eddine keeping Parma in the game. And Suzuki repeated three minutes later on Pellegrini’s low shot.

The match keeps the same plot: giallorossi keeping the ball and trying to double and ducali trying, as and when they can, to strike on the throw-in. It ends with Roma taking home the three points and a Parma, desperate, that despite being in ten against eleven for more than an hour, tries futilely to equalize.
